2.0 out of 5 stars Outdated, but well organized, December 22, 2005

By	Paul R. Kronst "Paul Kronst" (Seattle, WA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I used this book in 2004 and it was outdated already. In Swaziland, street names had changes and Youth Hostels had moved--all before the research was conducted! Very disappointing! I used to highly recommend any "Let's Go" guide. However, when they stopped updating it on a yearly basis, these guides are not worth it any more (unless you get one that's just published). It's well organized and better than nothing (therefore getting an extra star)... Try a different guide that has been recently published.
