They're sometimes terribly variable in content and level of detail (e.g. see the series of period ones by a variety of authors for West Yorkshire, which while generally pretty good definitely lack consistency) and I can think of one I've read that seemed to reflect purely the author's own personal research interest and frankly wasn't much use for anything else
Also, of course, they're research agendas, rather than in-depth analyses, so there's not many occasions I've actually managed to prise any useful archaeological data out of them
