Query: There Are Better Guidebooks for Japan

I guess like most other people, I bought this guide due to Lonely Planet's reputation, but I ended up dumping this guide after about a month of my three year stay in Japan. The maps aren't accurate at all, and the coverage is a mixed bag at best. I ended up switching to the "New Japan Solo" guidebook which is the best guidebook for Japan in my opinion. I recommend checking that one out before you drop you money on this one.
