As far as the large encyclopedic guides are concerned, this is about as good as they get. Since the guide is essentially the same format as the previous edition, the question most potential readers will have is, what's new?
Most noticeably, Lonely Planet has tweaked the content of the guide to focus more on the sights it believes potential travelers will want to see. As a result, we have more fleshed-out material for the pre-Columbian ruins and the colonial towns, and a proportional thinning of the material focussed on the Gulf and Pacific coast resorts, and northern Mexico in general. The Copper Canyon and northern Mexico still get only summary coverage, which I believe is a major shortcoming since this is, without question, a feature attraction.
The planning devices at the front of the book have been revised too. There's a new "off the beaten track" section that makes some interesting suggestions. These sections in general, together labeled "Plan your Trip," are really quite good. There's a top destinations section, an "If you like..." section, a section of thoughtful itineraries, and various other chapters about food, drink, festivals, and how to travel with children. These chapters should not be confused with the historical and cultural contexts, which appear as a collection of chapters at the END of the book.
The body of the book is the "On the Road" content focussed on the individual locations. All the material you would expect in an encyclopedic travel guide are here. Sights, listings, tour options, transport details, etc... Of course, the listings are right up to date and are representative of the best options even if they're not entirely comprehensive.Read more ›

Some of my favorite middle class restaurants and hotels seem to have been dropped.

Fairly large book. But only 1-2 pages on San Jose del Cabo. It seems to have a lot on the major cities like Mexico City, but minimal content on tourist destinations along the coast.
