I have always believed that Frommer's produced a quality product but this book changed my opinion. Like many so-called guidebooks for Mexico, if it isn't in or near one of the popular coastal resorts - don't expect much.

very good but too american

As all Frommer's products (guides) this one is very informative and has all the basics. The thing is, it is focused to the american public not considering that english is a universal language and the world is little bigger than the USA. When a tourist of another country reads it it may want the information to include more broad needs. Remember: today the world is the market.
