Frommer's guides are my go-to for travel. I use them to research pre-travel and to reference during travel. Easy guides are more general and hit the basics and highlights. This was especially good for cross-referencing restaurants, hotels and things to do that I found on Trip Advisor. All seemed current and reviews spot-on. Would recommend for those touring Lima, Cusco or Machu Picchu, Peru.
