Average guide lacking details Nov 06, 2008
Time Out is a decent guide that provides a rough overview of the sights and attractions. Whereas Lonely Planet or the Rough Guide would provide supplemental maps for major sites and excursions out of town, Time Out does not. Rarely does any attraction get more than a cursory, one paragraph write-up.
The included maps are colorful, and the inclusion of address numbers at each block is extremely handy; however, the fact that the maps overlap and the hotels, restaurants, and sites are shown on only one of the two overlapping maps makes using them somewhat confusing.
Tiny mistakes and omissions abound. For example, the ("2008 edition") guide says that Buenos Aires uses the European round plugs for electricity; in fact, Argentina officially switched to the Australian plug in the early 2000's. As another example, the guide never mentions the airport departure tax.
All in all, this guide feels like a "Cliff's Notes" -- perhaps good enough to get an overall impression, but I certainly wouldn't want to rely on it.
Time Out Buenos Aires Nov 05, 2007
Good read - lots of useful suggestions. Very good on the barrios or neighborhoods.
Somewhat out of date - e.g. the Sydney Opera House style nightclub referenced in the section on the docks has apparently been burned out for several years.
 Good book, good service Oct 28, 2007
Despite what others said about this book containing lots of ads, it's compact (easy to carry along) and very useful. A good buy.

Small, Compact and Ready to Go Jul 20, 2007
All the information you need to know.......where to go, what to see and how to do it.......The small, compact size made the guide easy to carry and go with at all times.
