"Discovering Spain, an Uncommon Guide" by Penelope Casas a cut above any of the " usual suspects".

Several regional guides that have have more detail than the general guides:

1) The Companion Guide to Madrid and Central Spain by Alastair Boyd. Used this for my last trip to Spain -- Fantastic!
Great stuff off the beaten path. (Car needed)

They also have a book for Southern Spain --

2) Eyewitness Guide to Seville and Andalucia

3) Cadogan Gude Northern Spain

4) If you are driving -- Thomas Cook Signpost Guides --
Andalucia and the Costa del Sol, Catalonia and the Spanish Pyrenees, very detailed.

I found these worth it for three car trips. Got me to places with few people or just Spanish people.

Best books, hands down, are the DK Eyewitness series.

They have excellent information, beautiful photos, tell you what to eat, where to go, what to do. And they make you want to do EVERYTHING in them. Can't think of any better recommendation for a book...the Lonely Planet books, don't they have, like, no photos? I love being able to look at good photos.

The only thing, and this is true of ALL such books, is that you can't trust the prices they give you, since the changing exchange rate, and inflation.

I recommend the Rough Guide. I have always travelled with Rough Guides and find them really useful and give more information than Lonely Planet.
