Summary: 5 Stars
ndia (Lonely Planet Country Guide) by Sarina Singh The Lonely Planet's new guidebook on India is an immense volume on
anything anyone would wish to know when traveling to India. The book begins with 10 different itineraries, each covering a different part of India as well as different types of tours, giving the traveler great insight into the choices that are available in a trip to this country. The guidebook also has an overview of the history of the country with a timeline summary of each period beginning with 2600-1700 BC and moving through to the contemporary time of 2009 AD. These 20 pages of history are a valuable beginning to the traveler in being able to grasp what aspect of India or what part of India he or she might like to focus their trip. The rest of this 1244 page travel guide becomes very specific in giving a great deal of information on each area of the country as well as each major city and the key sights to be found in that area or city, including places to stay and eat arranged in order of budget prices to midrange prices to upper end prices. The 250 maps throughout the book showing regions and cities give the traveler a great orientation to whatever area or city found on his or her itinerary. Having read a number of novels by Indian writers or ones with their setting in India, I find that this book becomes a wonderful reference work from which I am able to look up places and expand my image of the places described in the novels and have a clearer understanding of what the author is imparting. This guidebook is an amazing effort at covering in such detail a country so densely populated with such a rich history and culture as well as a great divergence in climate. (Review by Bill Neely)
