A guidebook to Delos?

We are looking forward to visiting Delos during out stop at Mykonos this June. 

 

The only guidebook widely available is one by Konstantinos Tsakos, published in 1998.  Although many of the plans within the book are the same as those in current Anavasi 1:1,250 topographic plan of the site, both of which are based on the maps drawn up by the French Archeological School in Athens many years ago.  However, there have been numerous work done in the past 20 years, such as the reconstruction work on Stoa of Philip in the Sanctuary Area.  

 

My question for those who have toured Delos: how outdated is the Konstantinos Tsakos's Delos-Mykonos book?  Did you find it useful? Or did you use a different book?

I used the Blue Guide chapter on Delos from the Aegean Islands guidebook, authored by Nigel McGilchrist. It is from 2012. I supplemented it by looking up any recent publications and collating that info into my notes. It worked well enough although my time got truncated due to having to return to my ship early (waterspouts in the area).
