We recently used this guide for our visit to Vancouver and found it a very good guide. It was only published in February so the information is accurate. The pull out map is very useful too and it didn't have the binding issues another similar guide I purchased had.
The city guides take a bit of getting used to as they are split into sections for each Neighbourhood and then the Eating, Sleeping, Drinking and Shopping sections are then split into sections for each neighbourhood. Once you manage to get your head round this it makes sense. There are small sections for excursions to Victoria, Whistler, Squamish, Buntzen Lake, Bowen Island and Southern Gulf Islands. These sections are small so if you intend spending time in these places and not Vancouver this book isn't for you. However, on our day trip to Victoria we did use this book and found a very good place to eat through it - somewhere we wouldn't have found otherwise.
If you are going to Vancouver and not the rest of BC then this is the book for you.

Great guide book!

I am glad I took this book to Vancouver with me. The maps and information were very good and seemed to be truly informed by a local. Of course, that is what we all want to aspire to in a guide book - local expertise, and this book seems to deliver. I also had the Fodor's book from the library with me, very good too.

Good starting point for your city exploration

We purchased this before a trip to Vancouver and Whistler. First day in town we did the Gastown pub crawl, and highly recommend it. Good selection of bars and nice description of all the places on the tour. The included tear out map was good, but not great - we ended up using the free one available all over town instead. Coverage of outlying areas was better than I expected - we ended up using some of the recommendations in both Squamish and Whistler.
