This book (the 2002 edition) was the only tour book in my backpack. I used it both while planning the trip and throughout the trip itself. Rick gives you the important information about city covered. This information usually includes major attractions, hotels, restaurants and basic "getting around" information. For the most part, I competely agreed with his reviews of the major attractions. His hotel selections also worked out well, but I didn't use the restaurant information much at all. The major downside is that the information isn't always that well organized. He will pack a lot of information about a hotel into a paragraph, but if you are skimming the book it is difficult to pick out the important tidbits. I would rather see the key information more clearly presented than buried in a paragraph. Also, his maps weren't very helpful at all. In every city I ended up picking up a local tourist map rather than using the little hand sketches in the book.
