Amazon.co.uk reviews:

2.0 out of 5 stars Has pictures, but no real information..., 25 Sep 2008
Having recently traveled around North India, taking both this guide book and also the Rough guide to India, I found the rough guide far more useful. Whilst the DK guide has glossy pages and lots of colour pictures of the attractions, it is severely lacking in any real details. For example, if you are looking for information of things like buses or trains to travel round, where is good to eat, or with whom would be good to book up an activity and how much it should cost then this book is almost entirely useless. The only reason I would recommend this book to someone is if they were on a package tour, and were not responsible for paying for or arranging anything themselves. Stick to the less colourful rough guide or lonely planet books, which provide far more information.

5.0 out of 5 stars an excellent travel guide, 21 Feb 2009
I had been to India already, so I needed some illustrated details about what to see on a seoond visit. This DK book has all the quality of the others in the same series. It did the trick excellently, and it provided the main information basis for a good time of sight-seeing in Mumbai.

5.0 out of 5 stars FANTASTIC!, 9 Aug 2009
Having used the south africa guide previously i had high hopes of this book and it did not disappoint!!
The book is abundant with information and stunning pictures and is not only incredibly useful but also beautifully put together.
WHlst Lonely Planet is all facts and rather a slog to get through, DK is much easier to follow and read.
Overall a fabulous book!

    Trending: Hardbacks vs e-books: the sequel

    In the world of journalism it's called a "reverse ferret" - a story breathlessly announcing that Black is White, just 24 hours after confidently asserting that Black is Black. In the genteel environs of publishing, it's a volte-face. Whatever it is, James Daunt, owner of Daunt Books and managing director of the Waterstones chain, executed a classic twirl at the weekend.

    Invisible Ink: No 124 - Hans Fallada

    His pen-name was created from two characters in Grimm's fairy tales, but his novels had little in common with the moralistic fantasies of mittel-Europe. Rudolf Ditzen was a magistrate's son, raised in Berlin and immersed in Dickens, Flaubert and Dostoevsky. He became one of the greatest German authors of the 20th century, but was not translated into English until 2009.

    The curious world of Norton Juster

    Some people are very easy to interview. Norton Juster is not one of them. He's delightful and articulate, but listening to the recording of our time together, it's striking how much more interesting his answers are than my questions. So our conversation entirely failed to resolve classics such as "Where did the idea for your book come from?" and ended up instead about vocational education, bipolar disorder, obscure Edwardian ghost-story writers, C P Snow, synaesthesia and the walks Juster used to take with his older brother. In some respects, it's hardly surprising; Juster has been giving interviews about his children's classic The Phantom Tollbooth for half a century, so might be forgiven for wanting his conversations to roam elsewhere.

    How Aharon Appelfeld chronicled the Holocaust

    Blooms of Darkness, in Green's graceful, grave and irresistibly readable English version, tells the story of Hugo, a young Jewish boy in an occupied town in eastern Europe who loses his parents to the camps but stays alive thanks to the shelter and salvation offered him by a local prostitute, Mariana. It extends and deepens one of the most remarkable journeys in all modern literature. In a prolific career whose highlights include novels such as Badenheim 1939, Tzili, The Immortal Bartfuss and The Iron Tracks, as well as the memoir The Story of a Life, Appelfeld has interrogated the meaning of what happened to him, to his community, and to humanity itself, during Europe's era of genocide.

    Gwendoline Riley: A portrait of the artist as a brooding young woman...

    Gwendoline Riley was finishing her first novel at the age that most of us were sleeping in, bunking off, or congregating around a pint at the student union bar. Turning her university dissertation into her debut, Cold Water (2002) she signed a two-book deal at the age of 22. Since then, she has accumulated a hipster-ish following and several literary awards (Somerset Maugham Award, the Betty Trask Award, a John Llewellyn-Rhys Memorial prize shortlisted nomination).
