1) Paperback Book India (Country Guide) by Lonely Planet. I´ve bought three books in the end oh september and untill now (oct 28th) I didn´t receive anything. It could be because I live in Brazil and the mail service is not to fast. I hope take it soon.¤ 2) Paperback Book India (Country Guide) by Lonely Planet. the Lonely Planet guide to India is THE guide. Going to India with the Lonely Planet changed my life. It also tells you to leave the guide behind and follow your intuition. I did. The result was my new book, on how to travel with your intuition and change your life. Travelling Magically: How to Turn Your Journey into a Life-Changing Experience. Quite a few stories about my time in India there - I wouldn´t have missed it for the world.¤ 3) Paperback Book India (Country Guide) by Lonely Planet. I was one of those people who took lonely planet books everywhere, all over Europe, to Iceland, the Philippines, Cuba and now Delhi. I trusted the brand so it was the only book I brought, big mistake.
I´ll only speak for Delhi because thats where I spent two weeks. So I hope this specifically helps travelers to Delhi.
The restaurants were pretty much awful, the hotel prices were wrong, the massage treatment place recommended so out of the way that it cost the cost of the massage to get there and back. I was working so I only wasted my weekends following the book. My work lunches were at far better restaurants and a aimless walk in the daytime in Old Delhi was far better than any guided tour. I also didn´t appreciate the tone of this book and how much time it wasted on smug reviews and lame humor.
I think the individual country books depend really on the authors/editors, the other lonely planet guides I have were of great help. For India(or Delhi at least), try another title.¤ 4) Paperback Book India (Country Guide) by Lonely Planet. It is large and heavy but full of information and easy to fine that information which many guides books can´t come close.
Lonely Planet, you do a good job.¤ 5) Paperback Book India (Country Guide) by Lonely Planet. While I only ever purchase Lonely Plant books for my travels, this new edition had me a little disappointed with no inclusion of HiTech City as one of the sights to see. The city was truly amazing and I am thankful our driver thought to take us there.¤ 6) Paperback Book India (Country Guide) by Lonely Planet. Discover India
