Best Peru Guidebook?

Any recommendations for good guidebooks/travel books for Peru? Other than Fodor's, of course. Lonely Planet? Moon? Others?

Fodors new 4th edition and Frommers for moderat upscale travel

Add Rough Guide FootPrint for backpacker/budget travel to

Moon and LP.

www.amazon.com best deals LP prices are horrible for downloads

and the material is super incorrect and dated.

Since the BBC took over LP they send an intern out to talk

with one hostel owner in each area so biased updates

Lots of complaints on boards about inaccuracy with LP/BBC.

In truth almost all are out of date by the time they print...

I am biased because I have worked on every edition of Fodor's Peru since the beginning, but I do think it's a terrific guidebook to the country.

If you are going off the beaten path then maybe Footprint even though it's probably out of date.

For standard tourist program Fodor's of course.
