Book Reviews of Frommer's Mexico 2008 (Frommer's Complete)
Book Review: FRANKLY, FROMMER'S IS FLAWED
Summary: 1 Stars
For quite some time I've regarded Frommer's Travel Guides quite highly - no more! Recommendations in this book for the city in Mexico that we visited are so far off base that they're clearly out.
For instance, we stayed San Miguel de Allende early this year. Frommer's regards Azulejos Talavera Vazquez, a ceramics shop, as "exceptional." In what way I politely ask?
We shopped at Vazquez and plunked down a good bit for dishes that we have never received. Vazquez does not respond to emails or calls. The supposed shipper (Destinos) does respond to emails - with one excuse after another. His posts are not very well written but imaginative - last stating that our shipment is now out of their hands. Of course, whose hands it may be in remains a mystery.
We'll not mention the restaurant Frommer's recommended that we left popping Rolaids. This is a 2008 book - there's still a lot of the year to suffer indigestion and for Vazquez to rip off folks.
However, we did love the city and learned two lessons - don't rely on Frommer's and at Azulejos Talavera Vazquez manana means never.
