My humble opinion
LP = shite. I believe many of the authors haven't been to the places they expose opinions about. As a rule of thumb if you assume the opposite view to the author on a hotel/hostel it is quite accurate. Ideal volume/weight to put under side stand of fat BMW when stuck in the mud on the Moyale/Isiolo road.
Footprint = quite good, at least in Ethiopia and South America. They also mention where bike parking is possible. Also the bus timings and distances were v useful. 200km and 12 hours = bad road, 500km and 5 hours on the bus = good road.
Rough Guide = really hard to follow unless you travel the same route in the same direction as the author.
cheers
