Green Guides are always excellent on information that tends not to change, particularly area histories, and information (historical, cultural, archeological and architectural) on the highlighted sights. The walking tour are usually fine.
If Michelin stopped there, they all be 5-star rated. The failure is their attempt to include current information on hotels and restaurants. Because these books are printed on paper, and often not available in electronic format, this information is usually out of date by the time the books hit the bookstore shelves. Even the printed books aren't updated regularly
The cure? Put addenda on the Internet. I suspect they don't because they don't want to offer information for free. Fair enough. They could easily include a key code in each purchased book to cover this. I looked into availability several years ago in Kindle format, and found it lacking, and it omitted the walking tours, which is what I really wanted. There is now an iOS app, but all it really is would be a map, with labels. If you want to follow one of their tours, or read about an attraction, you must still "whip out the paper."
This is the 21st century. The competition between buggy makers and horseless carriages has been decided. So has the competition between physical books and electronic media.
Time for Michelin to move on.

Pretty much the gold star of guidebooks especially on history and geography.
