I think it's about time that lonely planet went back to it roots. This book, unlike older "shoestring" titles, certainly doesn't seem to be geared towards people travelling on a tight budget. I have used Lonely Planet guides for trips around SE Asia, Europe, Australia and New Zealand. Usually they're great. Usually.
This edition however, regularly suggests accommodation over (often way over) $100 per night. Doesn't include any useful information about overland border crossings and doesn't really have any information on free things to do in areas.
In Mexico it lists only the price of the most expensive bus line, ADO (often double other very acceptable companies like Oriente).
It also needs proof reading, regularly rooms that are doubles are listed as cheaper than singles (when clearly it is intended to be the other way around) and the same with bathrooms/shared bathrooms. There has also been a restyling of the chapters, and now a lot of the useful information for certain countries is listed at the end of a chapter, or in the directory at the back of the book (not particularly handy if you're on a kindle or other non hard copy). Also, for the Kindle and E-reader versions, the new light colour scheme of the book, which is ported directly from the hard copy, makes maps virtually unreadable, and thus useless - especially when compared to the previous edition.
On the plus side it still has a basic guide to lots of regions, and will often list at least two budget places per destination (out of about 6). It has great advice on local food as well, but nothing that you couldn't discover yourself from just asking a local or just walking around.
