This book, while somewhat outdated, provides accurate and detailed information about the ruins in Guatemala in particular. The guides I traveled with all wanted to purchase it to enhance their information. The descriptions help you make decisions about where to go and having it with you enhances viewing. Places are generally easier to get to now.

Like her other book on the Yucatan, this one focuses on many smaller sites. I was surprised that it didn't mention El Puente as a site, however, and it was written before the Copan Museum opened, which is too bad. Unfortunately it is already sadly outdated. I hope she does another book soon.

I own another book by the Author on other archeological ruins and both books are written in a very clear and simple manner to be understood. In addition the enthusiasm about the archeological findings is infectious. How could a book on ruins be fun and clearly detailed? Well you will just have to read it if you have the interest and are going to visit those countries. In fact don't visit them if you haven't read the book.
