Try Lonely Planet this time

I was very impressed by their quality on Let's Go Europe. So this time, I decided to get Let's Go Mexico. And Guess what, on the trip, good that there were copiers in Mexico and people were nice enough to let me borrow them Lonely planet.
In conclusion, wait for the next Let's Go Mexico, this one is not good at all.

Let's Go Mexico: 2000

I just spent about 3 months in Mexico with this book as my only travel guide. It worked out quite well, despite nearly being destroyed by a large Pacific wave! It seems particularly good if you are traveling on a tight budget. The prices, etc. were more or less up to date--I doubt you'll ever find anything up-to-the-minute, but this was sufficient for all of the parts of Mexico, and even Guatemala, that I visited. My only complaint was that the authors had a somewhat condescending style and repeatedly made comments that I construed as belittling the locals in some of the areas (I remember Teotihuacan as one example). But that aside, I'm sure this is one of the better guides out there. The Lonely Planet "La Ruta Maya" guide to the Yucatan, Belize, and Guatemala seemed somewhat more useful for that region--not as confined by the national boundaries.
