Recommend a guide book for Colombia?

Travel Info
I need a guide book for Colombia, but I've heard the Lonely Planet one is no good. So far the best I've seen is the free one from poorbuthappy.com, but I want something alittle more substantial.

I have no idea why you were told that the Lonely Planet Guide wasn't good. It is fantastic! I lived in Bogota for three months last year and the Lonely Planet guide never steered me wrong.
