"The Pilgrim Road to Santiago," the complete cultural handbook, including
art, architecture, geology, history, folklore, saint's lives, flora, and
flora by David M. Gitlitz and Linda Kay Davidson, published 2000 by St.
Martin's Press, 175 Fifth Avenue, New York, N.Y. 10010. This, written
by two of the founders of the GOCamino e-mail group, is probably the most
complete English language reference work on the Camino Francés,
including the two eastern routes through Jaca, which some, I believe, call
the Camino Aragonese. At 600 grams, it is more than most people want to
carry, although some do. One pilgrim reported tearing out pages along the
way (and giving them to other pilgrims) to lighten the load, then buying
a new copy after returning home. It is a 440 page paperbook, well indexed
and referenced. It can be ordered on line or from any major book store.
