Your thoughts on guidebooks

Does anyone have a particular criteria they use to select a guidebook? Maybe a brand you prefer?
I can't say I see too much wrong with Lonely Planet, except maybe that they are too popular. Apparently a Lonely Planet book raved about a particular travel service in Vietnam. Therefore overnight 100 inferior services were started up in Vietnam with the same name.
What has worked well for you?

I hear lonely planet makes a good map book of Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, and Thailand. You might want to check it out.

cool cool
I think the budget for your trip may be a bit higher than the budget for ours. we hitch hiked from nagoya to hiroshima (in one day btw), stayed with my new good buddy Sean (SJ's Yuki's Passion) in a very spacious but very electricity-less apartment for a couple nights, and then spent all day riding local trains back to nagoya today after 2 fruitless hours of trying to get picked up at a pretty useless (for hitch hiking purposes anyway) expressway onramp...before it started to pour rain. So tonight we are staying at Manboo (mangakissa - 7hrs for only ￥1500) in Nagoya. Woohoo...but we got plenty of One Cup Ozeki and ajoining cubicles so all is good.
whoops, wasting precious recliner time - gotta run.
