I just traveled in Guatemala for 3 weeks. Although I found prices to be about 50% higher than what the guide says, it was full of useful information

Lonely planet book itself: The book was ok for a general overview of each area, but I found that the listings were not very comprehensive and the descriptions not particularly helpful.
* Xela has at least 40-50 language schools, but the guide lists only five, and doesn't at least acknowledge that it is not at all a comprehensive list. I found my school by word of mouth. It makes no mention of Adrenalina Tours, a Guatemalan-owned national operation that actually has a fairly strong set of offerings, and has English-speaking staff.
* Antigua section did not at all include a number of restaurants that I passed, and did not describe a number of the buildings, nor did it include the hotel (Hotel del Carmen) where I stayed - and this was a fairly sizeable, mid-range hotel.
* The Panajachel map does not include many of the narrow side streets that cannot accomodate cars but do accomodate pedestrians and scooters.
I had the kindle version, which was also problematic: the index was not very good, and there was no direct way to get to the table of contents. I would suggest, too, that it might be better to walk around with a paper book - it's not very practical to walk around with an expensive e-reader or iPad.

More compact and lightweight than the full sized books, just 14oz over two pounds. I read through a lot of it already and i think that It still has most of the pertinent information. As always lonely planet's layout is superb.

Don't get kindle version. This is the only reason I'm giving it 2 stars. Maybe you're more tech savvy than I am, but navigating a foreign country is a challenge from a Kindle or kindle capable device. Plus, if it's an ipad certain countries you don't want to be whipping that thing out. Perfectly fine tour guide book, just be sure to get hard copy edition.

The historical details were especially helpful, as we were on a humanitarian mission and this gave us perspective. I used it mostly for the maps and info on cities we visited, but felt it was well written and comprehensive.
