Far from a perfect guide (many might prefer the Rough Guide which is also very good), but it's maps are accurate, its places to stay and eat are reliable, and it offers extensive info on the sights and activities for every town included in the book. But Brazil is a dynamic country, particularly its economy and that has an impact of all prices quoted. A few weak areas: The language area should be strengthened by providing more information on pronunciation. Where and how to exchange money needs to be updated, especially when exchanging cash. Budget and moderately priced accommodations for Rio should be expanded
