This is elegantly designed and pretty much content-free, as previous reviewers have said. It seems like a bunch of ads for trendy chain hotels, except real ads would offer discount coupons.

If you want the same EXACT experience in Mexico City as you would in either London or NYC then this is the book for you. With this book you will have no need to know that Mexico City has a different culture, or really a different language for that matter. It doesn't come with a map, because obviously you will be asking your 5-star hotel/ trendy restaurant/ trendy foreigners-only bar/ trendy spa to request for you an English-speaking driver to drive you to your next glossy shiny English-speaking destination. For goodness sake, for shopping they recommend US$200 skirts or colorful resin rings that could be found in trendy NYC boutiques. Yes, I made the mistake of buying this book, and I found Mexico City to bemuch richer and vibrant in culture and people than Wallpaper portrays it. Please stick w/ Lonely Planet or Moon Handbooks.

This is really an extended (barely) magazine article in a clever format. It just skims the surface of Mexico City and many pages are wasted for the readers own notes, as if you would actually take this book with you. You won't. Nice photos.
