Best by a mile
What do we want in travel guides? I believe we want accuracy and a balance between context (history, literature, architecture, culture, etc...) and pragmatics (timetables, addresses, prices, etc...). This guide to India is the best of the lot, conforming to my simple formula.

It's nice and thick, to give the cultural traveler enough to contemplate, but it's also portable and durable, to fit the needs of the frustrated backpacker. Footprint has been at India for a long time (this is the 18th edition!), so you can expect a well-refined and useful product.

As a fan of Rough Guides, this is one of the few that I will recommend ABOVE that excellent series.

If you haven't been to glorious India, buy this book and go... alone if necessary.
