These writers really know Texas - I live in Houston, but I travel all over the state (I use these books to get day trip ideas) and they really nail pretty much every aspect of the Lone Star State: the best places for barbecue, the essential sights, the culture... like most Lonely Planet guides, the coverage of off-the-beaten-path destinations and outdoor activities is top-notch, which I love (although Frommer's has a more nuanced rating system and Fodor's has the prettiest layouts... but that's a discussion for another day).
In short, this is overall the best Texas guide I've read. My only hang-up is the writing in certain chapters (the Gulf Coast, in particular) is pretty dry, although the rest of the chapters are quite engaging. The quality of information throughout, however, is impeccable.
(P.S. - To the reviewer mentioning the "gross" food recommendations in Lockhart - I strongly disagree with you, as does apparently Texas Monthly and the long lines of people waiting out the door.)

This book is informative, detailed and organized. Honestly, in this day and age where everything said there can be found online, and easier to navigate, I consider that I could have done without this book.
As far as her eating recommendations, only a couple of them were a hit, most of the other ones were a miss. Especially Lockhart restaurants, the ones she recommended were absolutely gross.
In my opinion, good book for older people that aren't too interested in finding their answers faster on their smartphones..
