Summary: Perfect to prepare a trip
Comment: If you don't know anything about India and want to visit this huge country...this guide is perfect for you.
Very nice pictures of all main touristic attractions can help you decide what you want to see and where you want to go. It really inspires traveling there.
I first owned the Lonely Planet which is much better at giving you recommended itineraries and routes to get to specific places, as well as cheap but comfortable hotels, but which lacks the visual part to help decide where to go in the first place.
Both guides are quite heavy and rather inconvenient to carry on a trip. I would recommend making photocopies of important pages only to take with you.
Unlike other guides, you are likely to read this one again after your trip to see what you missed, what you want to visit next, compare the pictures you took...this is a good investment.
Why only 4 stars ? Well, the restaurants section is unnecessary in my opinion (especially because it lacks maps to tell you where there are), and the price categories of hotels are too imprecise and sometimes wrong (some hotels double their prices during the peak season).

Summary: Excellent!
Comment: This is, by far. the best , most inclusive travel guide I have seen on India. It gives us the kind of information we need to make the most of the relatively short time we will be there...such as attractions, lodging and dining in the cities we will visit.

Summary: Beautful Pictures, Great Information!
Comment: I bought this book to start planning a trip to India that should happen in 2009 sometime. I love these books! The pictures are beautiful and the facts and information help in planning places that I need to see when I get there. I purchased my first Eyewitness Travels guides when I went to Poland two years ago, and will only use this series when planning future trips! They are wonderful!

Summary: Fun to look at, but not authoritative
Comment: This is a nice book for getting an overview of India and picking out things you might want to do there, which is no small task in a country so large. It's more extensively illustrated than any other India guide I've seen. However, having been to India, I wouldn't want to use this book for the actual trip. It doesn't contain nearly enough detailed information about transportation, lodgings, and places to sleep, and its maps are pretty much useless. For actual travel I recommend the Lonely Planet guides, of which there are several for different parts of India.

Summary: India DK travel guide
Comment: This is a nice comprehensive travel guide for India with great graphics and suggestions. The only negative would be that it's a little heavy for carrying while on travel. The best use of this guide is probably for reading and note-taking at home prior to travel.
