Use with regularity. Enjoy Roach's books more, though. Not sure why. I usually look through this, then take other guides with me.

This is a great guide with a ton of information. Highly recommend. Only critique, and reason for four stars instead of five, is that we did find some information in this guide to be out-of-date compared to newer guidebooks, since this edition was published over 10 years ago now. (Which is to be expected, of course.) Would be wonderful if an updated edition was published soon! I'd definitely buy it.
