• Great Pictures, But Lacks Detail 14 November, 2007
This might be a great book if you are in the process of considering a trip to India. It is a good overview. However, if you know exactly where you will be traveling, pick up a more detailed guide for that area. I did like all the color pictures.

• Excellent Guide If You Like The Style 10 January, 2008
It's tough to pick the "best" guidebook for a particular destination, and the proliferation of free travel information on the web makes choosing "the one" even tougher. My wife and I always start with a copy of an EyeWitness guide for the destination: there are pictures on every page, and we find the images help us plan our trip: the guides are particularly good for architecture and art. The practical guides in the back cover currency, hotels and restaurants.
This guide to Dehli, Agra and Jaipur is a particularly good example of the DK offerings: the images, paper, text, all are up to the high standards of other books in the series.
Having written that, there is really only one page that matters in deciding whether to buy: the newer the better. This book appeared first in 2000 and my wife and I used that edition two years ago on our trip to North West India. It was substantially revised in 2007 so be sure you check the copyright page before buying. If you like the Eyewitness series and have any interest in the destinations, armchair or on the ground, your decision is made.
Whatever guidebook you decide on, consider adding a copy of The Little Book of Hindu Deities: From the Goddess of Wealth to the Sacred Cow (Little Book) to your baggage. It's in the style of Eyewitness Travel Guide to Delhi, Agra and Jaipur, and delightful and educational as well.

• India In Almost 3d 30 October, 2008
I have seen nothing like this in guide books, and that is an affirmative statement. The tourist triangle of Delhi,Agra, Jaipur abounds is exotic architecture, markets and planned sites. Here they are colorfully illustrated in both detail and birds-eye views. It is great preparation for a visit and visual enjoyment for the armchair traveler.
