Rough Guide to Greece
I've been using Rough Guides for 16 years around the world but feel the research standards on the `flagship' guide to Greece have slipped. Even details for quite large sites ie Mikines (restaurants) and Delphi (opening times) were not perfect and I don't think the research had been updated sufficiently to justify the frequent new editions. That said it's not a bad guidebook and I will continue to use the Rough Guides but for any area I knew well I found it fell short of the standards I would have expected.
