The Camino
I love this book. Shirley Maclaine is an excellent writer. I have never read a book as quickly as I read this one and I am going to read it again. This is a phenomenal book and I highly recommend it.

Findhorn Press, 2005

Excellent guide, colored maps, trail profiles, photos, accomodation guide
This guide follows the format of Brierley's Camino Frances guide: very pleasing to look at: glossy paper, colored photos almost every page, multicolor maps and trail profiles, parts of text set off by shading. It has the information the walker needs, where the alburgues are, how many beds, alternate choices. There is an introductory section with introduction, overview, followed by planning and ...

Pili Pala Press, 2008

excellent alternative to other guide books
this super light weight book showing the path to Santiago is an excellent alternative to taking a guide book with you if you are planning to walk the Camino Frances. It lists the albergues and hotels in all the villages along the way, along with other services offered - cash points, supermarkets, churches, etc. Spiral bound, well layed out, good town maps of the 5 biggest towns along the way. ...

Pili Pala Press, 2006

The best of self publishing
This travel or walking guide to the "Camino de Santiago" represents the best of small publishers or self publishing. The author and her husband researched the area by walking the Camino several-times - developing good and valid information. Bethan did a good job on a "shoe string" {probably a broken shoe string} budget. As a small business owner I am impressed with Bethan's ability to ...

Camino Junkie
I walked the Camino in the Fall of 2004 and took this book along with a much thinner more practical guide book. I loved, loved, loved having this book! My thin, practical guidebook told me of the trail, and places to stay and eat. This guidebook brought the experience alive for me. Everynight before I went to sleep, I would read the passage about the day I had just walked, and then would read ...

Critical to the success of my 2007 Camino de Santiago pilgrimage
On July 14th, 2007, I began the Camino pilgrimage in St. Jean Pied-de-Port (France), and 500 miles later I finally walked into the Spanish city of Santiago on August 24th, 2007. During my preliminary research for the trek, I came across "A Pilgrim's Guide" and bought it due to the positive reviews. I'm glad I did, because without this guidebook I might not have completed the Way. "A ...

Perfect for adventurers or armchair travelers
Reviewed by Paige Lovitt for Reader Views (6/06) In 2001, Susan Alcorn and her husband Ralph journeyed to northern Spain to hike the Camino de Santiago Pilgrimage Trail. This incredible journey took them over 400 miles through a vast array of landscapes and adventures. What I really loved about this book is that while Alcorn is journaling her current experiences, she is also educating us on ...

Camino de Santiago Maps
This is a very handy and useful little booklet. For my three-week Camino experience I kept the booklet readily accessible in my outside pants pocket. I repeatedly referenced the booklet throughout the day. It's narrow size and the ability to bookmark the page with the flaps on the front and back covers made it easy to retrieve and reference using only one hand. The day-at-a-glance layout, ...

Meet William Bonville and his latest work, A Traveler's ...

What the Psychic Told the Pilgrim: A Midlife Misadventure on Spain's Camino de Santiago

Jane Christmas

Greystone Books, 2007

An honest pilgrim on the Camino
The literature on the Camino de Santiago can be divided into three categories: 1) guidebooks, 2) memoirs, and 3)travelogues which take the middle path between the other two. Jane Christmas' book is definitely a memoir. One can get some practical advice and useful hints from it to walk the Camino but, on the whole, the book is quite skimpy on topographical and historical details. Nevertheless, ...

Camino Real

Tennessee Williams

New Directions Publishing Corporation, 1970

Abstract; symbolic; unlike any of Williams' other plays
Anyone expecting Camino Real to be anything like the other plays Tennessee Williams wrote during the same period, such as Summer and Smoke or Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, will be puzzled. This is unlike anything else Williams wrote; it's nonlinear, overtly symbolic, lacking a conventional plot, and filled with images that don't make literal sense even as they speak directly to the subconscious. I ...

Used this book to walk 800km From St Jean France to Santiago
I have just finished my Pilgrimage - In the five weeks I used this book to walk the track to Santiago in Spain - I grew quite fond of it - The 220 page book is ring bound and fits compactly into my rucksack. Every village is mentioned on the 800km way with information on each village, like don't cross this field because of a bull, or this is the village of barking dogs, or in this village the ...

By thirteen, he d been picked up by the government army, and Beah, at heart a gentle boy, found that he was capable of truly terrible acts.
