Books on the Camino
I have just discovered two books on the Camino, new to me even though I have tried to be comprehensive in seeking out titles, both of which appear to be interesting. Bettina Selby was a pilgrim in the early 1990s and began her walk from Vezelay. I always enjoy reading pilgrim journals and books in a journal style for they remind me of my walks and allow me to compare my experiences. The third edition of Michael Jacobs The Road to Santiago is a fine and quite portable guide to the artistic and specially the architectural marvels along the Camino Frances in Spain. I must buy a copy of the book sometime soon.
