Summary: Lonely Planet's Guide to Rajisthan (Northern India)
Comment: Sarina Singh and Michelle Coxall's guide to Rajisthan is a well written reference for any Western traveller. Detailed information on the history and cultural context of a region or country gives any travel buff an insightful introduction into their travels. In addition, Singh and Coxall include up-to-date information (with convenient currency converters) on places to stay and eat, regional attractions (inluding listings of museums), regional events (such as festivals and fairs), etc. However the book's strength lies in the inclusion of several detiled maps of the region and of major cities in Rajisthan. The maps guide tourists to important locations such as hotels, banks, hospitals, post offices, police stations, etc. The color pictures and the black and white sketches well support the book's narrative and give travelers mnore than a brief glimpse into Northern India and its unique lifestyle. Other travel guides such as Frommers and Lets Go, while offering strong information, are unable to paint as clear a mental picture as the Lonely Planet guides are so adept at.

The guide to Rajisthan is perfect for unseasoned travelers unused to the hustle and bustle of Asia. The book guides tourists through the murky waters of regional customs, while highlighting invaluable cautionary information on health (e.g., food and water), local scams, etc. In addition, the book devotes an entire section to travel and transportation information including useful hints on visa applications, drivers permits, etc. The book conlcudes with a glossary of important terms and a phrase book that helps toursists navigate through simple phrases imperative for travelling through foreign countries.
