Which Costa Rica Travel Guide is the best???

I am plotting a trip to Costa Rica. I have read that just basing your research off of 1 travel guide is the best way to go……So I have narrowed it down Lonely Planet, Frommer’s and Fodor’s. Can anyone tell me which one is best? Has anyone used more than 1 of these?
Frommer's 1999 Costa Rica Travel Book

Frommer’s has excellent reccomendations. Lonely Planet is excellent for surfers, but I used Lonely Planet traveling with my family and it worked fantastic. Lonely Planet has excellent maps for each town and has a excellent range of bugets. Fodor’s is a book for the wealthy travelers. I would personally suggest Lonely Planet. Have a excellent vacation!
Every guide book is aimed at a specific type of traveller, so the answer depends on what kind of traveller you are. Lonely planet is better for the budget traveller while Frommers and Fodors are best for the more upscale traveller. As an all around guide book but, I would recommend the New Key to Costa Rica.
I am Costa Rican and I have used the Lonely Planet in the last 6 years. It is a very excellent guide.
