Hear, hear. Last time I bought a Spartacus was in the early 90's. No way I am gonna carry a bulky book with outdated information, 99% of which is not useful for THAT trip anyway, on my travels.
Just search the latest data on the local scene on the Internet, hit the print button, and you have a few pages of good information.
