A Traveller’s History of India.  Interlink Publishing Group.  Size 5”x7¾”

This is an excellent, comprehensive guide to one of the most intricate cultures on the planet, and it should be useful to visitors regardless of their primary motivations for visiting India.  India is the birthplace of Hinduism as well as Jainism, Buddhism and Sikhism, and a greenhouse for Islam, Zorastrianism and other religions.  The countryside is strewn not only with New Age avatars of ancient belief, but also magnificent architectural evocations of their evolution.  A good tour guide.

Hotel & Restaurant Guide India.  Published by the Federation of Hotel and Restaurant Associations of India.  Size 7"x11".  788 pages.  Weight 4½ lbs. 

This is a fabulous big book!  Absolutely the last word on hotel and restaurant listings in India, included descriptions, contact information, prices, and pertinent details.  Makes planning so easy and fun.  It's heavy, so just tear out the appropriate pages and take them with you.  Our retail price on this book includes the very high cost of import air freight, and also the additional shipping and handling charges above our regular shipping charges.

Hotel & Resorts Guide: India, Nepal & Sri Lanka.  Published by Sh. Arjun Dua, M/s. Avin Book Distributor.  Size 5½"x8½".  629 pages.  Weight 2.2 lbs.  Glossy softcover. 

Very similar to the Hotel & Restaurants book described above, but smaller in size and weight.  This hotel guide has the advantage of also listing hotels in Nepal and Sri Lanka, but does not contain quite as much pertinent information nor the extensive index, and does not contain the restaurant listings for each city.  Includes many interesting and informative 4-color advertisements for hotels and guesthouses throughout the Indian Subcontinent and Sri Lanka.  And you can take it with you!

India Railways National Timetables: "Trains At A Glance".  Size 8"x10".  195 pages.  Softcover.  This is the big daddy of timetables!  Valid until July of 2002.

All of India's national railway lines and timetables are represented in this wonderful book, along with a Station Index, Train Index, 122 pages of timetables, Route Maps with numbers, tourist information, passenger information, rules and regulations; and two foldout maps of India showing all the national and sate railways.
   At the top of each page is a graph (a line with circular dots) showing the route featured on that page (e.g. "Mumbai-Chennai" {Bombay-Madras], with all the major stops indicated on the graph.  The page itself, will show the complete timetables for that route.  With the largest and most complex railway system in the world, this timetables book is truly a remarkable achievement by the Indian Railways Ministry.  In addition, there is a delightful 16-page special section devoted just to the Hill Stations of India, and arranged according to each state, giving tourist info on each Hill Station and suggesting railway routes.  You'll be enchanted.

Southern India Railways and National Railways: "Golden Jubilee Year of Southern Railways".  Size 8"x10".  204 pages.  Softcover.  Valid until July of 2002.

This timetables book is similar to the one above in that all the national timetables are included.  But in this book the Southern Railways Timetables covering the states of Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, and Kerala, are emphasized and placed at the front of the book, and the complete schedules for the Chennai Suburban Railway system are also included.
   Also included is a foldout route map of the Southern Railways system with the train numbers superimposed.  What I especially like about this book is the 50 pages devoted to passenger information, including phone numbers, advance reservations, refund rules, amenities on the trains, amenities at the stations, booking of luggage, FARES, and much more.  Invaluable info!!  Plus this is the only book that I've seen that gives complete diagrams of the coach layouts for all classes including sleeper class.  If you plan extensive travel throughout India, this book is a must!.
