While it has a lot of useful information, so much of it is out if date
While a lot of the details are very useful and descriptive, much of it is out of date and demonstrates that it has not been checked for this new edition
The worst guide I've had over many years
A large book so have not covered it all, but the maps are so small you have difficulty reading the street names. The attractions are not listed in English, but e.g. as Museo de la .... so if you are looking for a particular museum unless you know the Mexican name you're lost. There's text in grey that's hard to read. The hotel listings are poor and some popular places are only covered by a few pages. If I had perused it in a bookshop, it would not have been purchased.
