Steve, I am an 81-year-old, longtime subscriber to ITN, and you and ITN are my last resort for a problem that I have never seen addressed in print.
Here are a couple of the latest travel-book reviews written by ITN readers.

In Ecuador, La Mitad del Mundo is a site 22 kilometers north of Quito that marks where the French geographical expedition marked the equator in 1736.
On a trip to Lima, Peru, in May ’06, we took a day trip to Chosica, a weekend retreat 25 miles east of Lima. Our friends had recommended Fuego Restaurante (Jr. Trujillo sur 406, Chosica; phone 360-2425), and our meal there was the best that we had in all of Peru.
It was typical Peruvian food presented in a manner that would delight Americans. Between us we had a chicken dish, a cuy (Guinea pig) dish, a liter of beer and a mixed drink for a total of 63.70 soles (near $20).
