1: HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!,
Just back from two weeks touring the Yucatan and this book made my trip. As always the Blue Moon people give the good info for the indie traveler. The great out of the way places to stay and eat and sleep and visit. All wrapped up in one neat book. If you are headed to the Yucatan TAKE THIS BOOK! you won't be sorry! Oh yeah, also pick up the cult classic "A Tourist In The Yucatan!" great thriller set in the Yucatan.

2: Very thorough except for...
This is a very good guide, with tons of information on everything in the area. Its very well written also, and with a very good history section (the Maya civilization and their warrior-ways are very interesting and not generally known by most travellers).
We used it on our 1-week trip to the Tulum area with its eco-rustic 1-story oceanfront cabins(which range from $20 to $300 per night).
The only section that I would reccommend including is a CENOTE section (Cenotes are the unique caves and tunnels filled with water, which only exist in the Yucatan peninsula). The way the authors arranged the Cenote information in the book is just by mentioning the Cenotes in each region.
But in my opinion, the spectacular nature of the Cenotes deserve a stand-alone chapter with individual descriptions and pictures.
However, I put up 5 stars because I also think that just driving along the jungle and finding that surprising hidden Cenote that you hadn't heard about, signalled just by a tiny hand-made sign on the road, is one of the greatest adventure-feelings you can still experience in the Yucatan.

3: very helpful
this guide was extremely helpful and informative during our trip, it had lots of info not only on cancun and cozumel but also on the mayan ruins and other great places to see like playa del carmen and tulum

4: Very Informative
I found this book to be very helpful and up to date. The details provided were first rate. It even listed the ferry schedule to Isla Mujeres - something that other guides only glossed over. The maps were useful too. There were a lot of information on cenotes, and where they are located.
I liked it so much that I have just bought the Moon travel guide to the Four Corners.
