I buy an up to date guide every year, and here’s my quick review.
Bottlang (nice overview map or the local area, flimsy and not many small airfields).
Poolys (good level of detail, but small maps, and typeface/layout makes it hard to read in the air).
AFE (largest amount of airfields – 2007 color edition even has small grass strips like Swanbrough Farm - biggest maps, clear and easy to read.)
Not one of them is perfect (I’d like the AFE with the Jepp overview map, and some of the additional text from the Poolys), but for me the AFE is the best.
