To dear Mr Brierley,
It is with the greatest respect, admiration and appreciation that I address you directly at this time. I was very sorry and saddened to hear of your current suffering. Yet I am very grateful to have the opportunity to express how much you have meant to me since my first Camino Francés in 2009. Your guides are unique in their balance of scope, practicalities, cultural and historical information as well as wisdom and inspiration. A Brierley guide is a petite gem and a monolithic touchstone for this devoted peregrina from Australia. I want to now humbly convey that you will be in my heart, thoughts and prayers as you continue this etapa of your life which has blessedly touched so many of us very deeply. Ultreia!
 
We were recently relaxing in Biduedo and a beautiful lady (Australian as we learned) came in and was talking to our host in very good Spanish and in some distress. She had lost her guide book. It was not her first Camino and it wasn’t far until her planned finish in Sarria this time, but she was upset. We asked her about her guide book, we realised it was a Brierly guide she had lost and that and we had one in our room. So hubby went to our room and retrieved our guide book and together we all photographed the pages she needed to see and take with her. Her relief and reassurance were palpable and special. Thank you for that, John. best wishes from N Z

Dear John. I am deeply grateful for your commitment to sharing the depth of your knowledge about the Camino Frances. Your spirit has so emphatically infused your guidebooks, and I have valued your reflective inspirations in my journeying. Thank you
 
Dear John, Thanks for your companionship which I felt from having your guidebook when walking the Camino Frances 5 years ago, you are a star. Been camino Trevor P
 
I am sad to hear that John is unwell. I met John when he was in Dublin a few years ago and he autographed my 2006 edition of his Guide to Camino Frances which I treasure and have carried with me on the Way. My prayers and best wishes to you John...
