For South America, the South America Handbook - now published by
Footprints and split into individual country books is as complete as you
get. Lonely Planet - well, it is too opinionated for my liking, though a
better read. I liked it better in the olden days when it had one-liners
like 'Brasilia is a vast architectural wank' - expunged from later
editions.
