The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.

Hi I think if you have a Barnes and Noble or Borders Books near you they can have it for you in 2 or 3 days. I got the 2009 John Brierley guide which seems to be the most popular one. I ordered it from my bookstore and had it in 3 days.
 
Get a spanish phone number with Airalo. eSim, so no physical SIM card. Easy to use app to add more funds if needed.
It would be easy for you to have it waiting for you at St. Jean in France, but it would be just as easy to have it before you leave. Take your pick and enjoy your Way. Peace
 
I returned to St. Jean Pied de Port a couple days ago after completing the Camino. In a bookstore I was surprised to see a few copies of John Brierly´s 2009 guide. I hope you get a guide before leaving, but if you land in St. Jean without one, check out the local bookstores.
 
The first edition came out in 2003 and has become the go-to-guide for many pilgrims over the years. It is shipping with a Pilgrim Passport (Credential) from the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.

In Madrid you can look for it in "La Casa del Libro", in la Gran Vía.

Or, may be in the Asociación de Madrid, Calle Carretas, 14, very close La Puerta del Sol, if you have to go there to take a credential for your Camino

Buen Camino,

The focus is on reducing the risk of failure through being well prepared. 2nd ed.
