Title: Hit and Miss
Review: Just got back from 3 months with this book in SA...Plusses:Great Maps...LP maps are the best guidebook mapsLots of Choices for Hostels/Restaurants...they aren't too detailed but do typically offer a lot of places, while Let's Go will offer 4 or 5 per city.Everyone has got it, you'll find a lot of people to hang out with when going to their recos.Minuses:Everyone has got it, perhaps you don't want to run into a lot of gringos.Doesn't cover lots of small towns which are great to visit...yes of course this is a book that tries to cover a CONTINENT so it's not going to have everything, but I found Footprints SA book to be significantly more comprehensive.A bit out of date...new one is forthcoming, I believe.Overall I would recommend Footprint's SA Handbook instead, although the maps do leave a bit to be desired.
