Review: Prior to travelling Ecuador's countryside in 1999/2000 I studied some of the related guide books, among them the Footprint and Lonely Planet guides (the latter also very good, but not as good as Footprint's). The Footprint Ecuador Handbook is by far the best, most accurate and detailed travel book on Ecuador I've seen, with a wealth of information and directions particularly for people planning to travel on their own. The book - although not a lightweight - also is worth its price in gold during your stay in Ecuador...
