BRAND NEW PILGRIM GUIDE TO THE CITY OF SANTIAGO OUT NOW

A brand new publication from the CSJ has just been released – it is a pilgrim’s guide to the city of Santiago de Compostela itself, including all the information you need to follow the traditional pilgrim rituals on arrival, spiritual services available for English speakers and ALL albergue and hostel accommodation. In addition it gives 20 things for pilgrims to see and do in Santiago as well as “The Route of Routes”, a walking tour of the city that takes you on five caminos – via churches, historic buildings, markets, forests and parks.

Thanks Johnnie - I had a look on CSJ website and was glad I was sitting down - it looks light the postage on your book is about twice the purchase price, which was why I was querying if Ivar was going to stock it as I will be ordering some stuff from him shortly and could thus combine all the purchases into one lot. So no double postage. Cheers

the postage on your book is about twice the purchase price

The same for me. The cost of the booklet is £5, but when I go to checkout a further £10 is added for postage. I’d be happy to pay the £5 for an e-booklet, download it, and then print it off myself. Could that be possible? Jill

Hi Jill and Mike
I'm an occasional volunteer with CSJ. We've been trying for a while now to work out how to offer digital versions of our publications for sale. If you trade in the EU and you sell digital publications you have to pay a tax called VATMOSS on each item you sell. If you ask for a 'donativo' this doesn't apply, which is why we make some of the publications available in digital format and ask people to make a donation for them when they download.
At the moment the view is that it is too difficult for our small organisation to register for VATMOSS and cope with all the associated procedures, though this may change if we can find an 'app' that does all the work for us!
I'm in the office tomorrow for the office volunteers' xmas knees-up, so I'll check on the latest situation (before the festivities interfere with faculties) and see if there have been any developments and report back (in due course)
Cheers, tom

Thanks for the explanation, Tom, much appreciated. Having been a bookkeeper myself, I shudder at the thought of all that unnecessary bookwork; best to avoid it at all costs! Will stay tuned on developments. Have a great time tomorrow! Jill

Will the new guides be available for purchase in Santiago?

Hello Tom - thanks for the feedback & again I do understand about the EU record keeping/paperwork costs. As to how the overcome the postage - maybe we need one of your Aussie affiliates to buy a bulk stock and then on sell (at a small profit to cover costs).
Have fun at the Christmas party - but remember don't drink & drive!! Best wishes to CSJ for 2017.

Hola,

I'm very pleased to say that very soon the CSJ will start to offer sales of electronic versions (Pdfs) of these publications. They are printable and work superbly well on mobile devices.

Looking forward to the PDFs. Also, was wondering if the “The Route of Routes" portion is similar or the same of the previous booklet you put out and I have. Hugs from wintry Ontario. Ingrid

update on CSJ situation. It looks as if we can get round the regulations by e-mailing electronic guides rather than it all being an automated electronic process. The CSJ office is still working out the best way of doing this, but I guess this will all be sorted by the end of January. At which point I'll post again to hopefully confirm we've got a system in place for offering electronic copies.

@peregrino_tom - pdf versions are great as being printable as well as working across devices, so I for one would hope that it is the answer for emailed versions - - and thanks @JohnnieWalker - you answered my question before it got asked.

 

[JohnnieWalker]

Yes - PDFs are very much the answer. I'm sorry about the delay in providing these. The issue never had anything to do with VAT regulations and the CSJ was simply badly advised.It is all sorted out now. I'm working with the other English language associations to ensure wide publicity for this new facility which will be of great benefit to pilgrims. In the meantime if anyone wants an advance copy of the PDF of this particular guide please email me.
