Of course, like any guidebook it has obsolete or incomplete info (such as listings for old albergues that had closed, or new ones that had opened after the book had gone to print). But the maps were great for planning my daily distance, the packing list and English/Spanish phrases were helpful, and even his somewhat weepy spiritual musings were intriguing.
A cool bonus is the large number of color pictures - it's almost like having a supplementary photo album. He even includes lined pages to write your own reflections (since I had my own journal, I used them for stamps that I didn't want to put in my main credencial). Indeed, his book is a Camino souvenir on its own. Definitely recommended!
