Brian Skillen liked Radostina Petrova's review of The Templars' Camino: A Guidebook to the Knights Templar on the Camino de Santiago: "As I contemplate which Camino de Santiago route to take, a friend nudged me with this book and its unique angle: five medieval kingdoms, four different routes combined, one pilgrimage to rule them all.

I bought this book for my wife, and she absolutely loved it! The book helps you to first identify your skin type, then gives effective treatments! I would highly recommend as a gift.
