I have waited for over a month for this book and it never arrived! Of course my credit card was charged! Needless to say, I am very disappointed and will think twice before buying again!
This is a beautifully done book. The pictures are amazing and very well done. This simply stands out. Great work guys!
I bought this book before moving to India, hoping it would make traveling in the country easier. I was disappointed. There is no practical information in this book. Train times, bus fares, budget hotels, and more useful information is completely ignored. The only plus to the book is sometimes helpful information is given on art history and monument history, but overall I would only recommend the Lonely Planet guide for those looking to really see and experience India.
Just been to Goa and this book was a great reference for the places to visit.
The extremely detailed 3-D cutout on the Basilica de Bom Jesus (pp. 498-9) was esp. useful.
It lives up to its blurb: The Guides That Show You What Others Only tell You.
It was everything I wanted. This is the second time I have done this review.
