If you are looking for a travel book, that gives you good descriptions of a tourist site, perhaps this Rough Guides would be a good choice. I didnt read too many of those since I would get a guide usually at a tourist site, but then I sure could see that the descriptions are long and detailed.
But if you are backpacker who is looking for a travel guide that has the correct address/location of a hotel where you plan to spend the night when you reach Arequipa at 8pm, this is certainly not the reliable guide! Well not to mention that in Lima my first two choices of hostals did not have correct location in the map in the book. And then in Trujillo the hotel I chose to go to was shut down...and where really was that creolle restaurant that the book recommended and I wanted to hit that night. And the story goes on - Well sometimes they wouldnt have correct address, and more often than that they would not have the correct location on the map..
You know being off by a couple of blocks matters sometimes ( you just reach a new city, its night, you are alone and tired and want to hit a hostal and sleep).
SO yes since the book was unreliable when I needed it the most, its good points like great long descriptions of sites got overshadowed.

Nothing in this book is up to date. The prices are all incorrect and the descriptions of some places and things are just plain wrong. This book almost ruined my trip to Peru. Stay Away From It!!! I bought it in the first place because I loved the rough guide to Tanzania, and trusted that the guide to Peru would be just as good. I just dont know why Rough Guides allowed this tragedy to be published.
