I've used these books extensively...,
By A Customer
This review is from: Lonely Planet Buenos Aires (Paperback)
and despite some editorial flaws, Lonely planet seems to have seriously freshed up this edition quite a bit. Descriptions are fairly accurate and good (though liberally opinionated at times) and the company seems to have eliminated the pedantic writing of its older guides. [...]It's too bad all the prices in this guide are all wrong of the peso crash, but this makes things so much cheaper for travellers. At least it's a great time to visit Buenos Aires!

Warning: unreliable,
By A Customer
This review is from: Lonely Planet Buenos Aires (Paperback)
Anyone considering buying this book should be aware that the publisher and authors have gotten in trouble with the Argentine and Brazilian governments for suggesting that foreigners could cross the border from Argentina to Brazil at Iguazú falls by using false identification (see p. 157). Anyone attempting to do this might well end up in a Brazilian or Argentine jail in an area where smuggling of drugs, guns and people is epidemic. Visitors should always get the appropriate Brazilian visa.The rest of the book, while not so bad as this, is awkwardly written, though this could partly be an editing problem--in one instance, there is a curious statement that appears to state that the Buenos Aires subway has been demolished (p. 84).

Map isn't worth buying,
By A Customer
This review is from: Lonely Planet Buenos Aires (Map)
The three positive points to this map are that it is sturdy, waterproof, and colourful. For practical use it is difficult to use. You are constantly flipping the pages to find out which section you are looking for, and often the street you are looking for lies exactly in the part they decided to cut-off. I find it is not comprehensive enough, and think it would only be good if you were touring for one day in the touristy places. It's not really a map to get around the entire city with.
