I bought this Rough Guide to plan my 4 month backpacking trip around S.America. I mainly chose it over the Lonely Planet as it was recently published so the prices and best places to visit/stay are more up-to-date (the LP is a few years old now). I've relied on it a lot for planning costs for trips and general living/travelling so I'm glad I got this one. I like the fact it gives advice about general matters (like money, crime, things to do/avoid) where relevant. I'm sure LP and RG are very similar for content but this is better for more recent information.
This is great for me as I'm visiting 8 countries and I don't want to have to carry 8 travel books, but if you're only going to a couple of countries you may want to consider buying individual books for more detail. Nevertheless, this is great for an overview of everywhere you'd probably want to go visit, costs and how to get there plus a bit of history/culture of the countries.

I had the misfortune to have my Lonely Planet to South America stolen from me half way through a four month trip. I then picked this up in a book exchange, and figured it would be just as good. It wasn't, and travelling for 2 months with it was constantly frustrating. Bad maps, missing information, nowhere near as good details on transport as Lonely Planet, it was more often frustrating than it was useful. The Lonely Planet is much better - and probably best of all is the Footprint guide, which is excellent in just about every way in terms of the info it contains (although I find the layout slightly easier in Lonely Planet).

You know what you are going to get with the rough guide, so I'm sure it'll be ok although I haven't actually gone to South America and tested the rough guide gospel.
