Forget the Rough Guide and the Lonely Planet and all the backpackers guides, they will give you pages & pages of data to sift through and try to analyse. If you really want to get a true taste of what to expect on a forthcoming visit to the area, buy this book. With its colourful photos, maps, and diagrams it will not only whet your appetite, but provide a truly accurate and vivid picture of what's in store and allow you to plan trips and visits with confidence and anticipation.
The only pity is that is not yet a "scratch 'n' sniff" version.
Buy it, you won't be disappointed (unless you're a backpacker!).

DK's guide to Delhi, Agra and Jaipur covers the usual tourist sites but also fills in the background history of the sites and the country within which they are set, providing an insight to the atmosphere of India in general. Packed with the normal wealth of helpful hints and sprinkled with those facts that you did not know you wanted to know until you did. As ever, the exploded 3-D diagrams of the key sites like the Red Fort make guiding yourself around even the more complex sites a dream. 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 you should pack a bathplug; how much a porter should be paid; whether the water is drinkable or whether you are planning to visit during a period of festivities when all your target sites are going to be closed. Eminently readable and well worth the cost . . . and the time taken to read from cover to cover - ideal for the airport lounge, in fact!
