Nothing really, I already been to Mejico a number of times. I just like to look at the maps and write down directions to places "we" may be interested in partaking - namely anything to do with imbibing and being gluttonous.

Don't waste your time and or money. The book is poorly laid out and the info is hard to find. For an overall Mexico handbook go with Lonely Planet instead.

Awful! I think whoever wrote this guide never went to Mexico! We got so much wrong information, especially on DISTANCES between places (which is not a detail when you're driving!!!).

I use this as well as the Insight Guide for the areas included in this book. Note many border areas are not covered in this book.
