I just reviewed the book for the next edition of "La Concha," the American Pilgrims' monthly newsletter.
Just how readers can get a copy is a good question. I've asked the author and translator about distribution/e-book versions, and am told "we're working on it." I guess we wait til after it's launched before we try to make it "land" in our homes!

I will get a few copies on Monday, but I think that I will not get that many. So I might not be able to ship all of the orders until later in the week. But get your orders in and I will ship it as soon as I have more books in.

Buen Camino!
