Make sure to get the 3rd edition (published 2021), and not the second one (published 2017), like I did, because the latter doesn't even have maps of each stage, which is a profoundly unacceptable omission in a book meant to guide you along a 9-day trail . Other than that (!), it's fine, I guess. I mean, it could give more information about lodging, or food options along the way, but there's the internet for that. Also, don't let the glossy pages fool you - one day in the rain (and you will have at least one day in the rain, no matter when you do the trail) and the book comes pretty close to falling apart.
