 Rating:  - Forget the Rough Guide !The DK Guides have one big advantage over the competition - they have loads of pictures in them. I just opened a page at random and it has five full colour pictures in the text. Text and pictures in equal proportions. This is just what you want when you are visiting a country like India which is SO different from the West. You get a preview of everything - yes everything - you will visit.

As useful in the preparation of a trip as on the journey, the book is flexible enough to fit easily into a camera bag or handbag, but has a sturdy enough construction to survive a number of journeys unscathed. This is where to look if you want to know whether ... Read More: |
