This newest (2012) edition of the guidebook is a significant step down from previous editions. There are 100 fewer pages than the last edition. Once again, none of the islands in micronesia are included. (So if you want to visit Palau or Guam, you'll need to look elsewhere.) Several of the smaller and less popular island groups (not only inaccessible places like Pitcairn, but Tuvalu and Wallis & Futuna) are lumped together in one VERY brief chapter.
More money for less content. Maps are the frustrating blue-on-blue. What's wrong with this picture?

I personally don't like how the guide is organized. Many of the maps are links out of the guide which is great if you are sitting in your hotel with a Wi-Fi connection but useless when you are out and about.

It's a great book. I traveled all thru the South Pacific last summer and didn't want to carry a half dozen books. This one really does the trick. Good hotel recommendations and all up the usual high LP standard.
