Just a suggestion, Mike - but maybe you should obtain a new copy. An old copy might have out of date information. I'm not sure how often they update these particular books, but I buy new copies of travel books every few years just to keep current. Or - check out your local library.

Pity you're noy going to Japan. I left my 'Rough Guide to Japan' somewhere in northern Honshu.

If you cannot afford a guide book, can you afford a trip to India? I recommend Loneoy Planet, it is affordable.

Buy your own guidebook you cheapskate!

the Cadogan India guide is due out this month. It will be the most current and I believe is first published in England. Footprint is by far the best resource for India. Their most current edition is 2001. I have the most recent editions of Footprint and Lonely Planet, but have found that so much has changed since they were published. That's why I'd recommend Cadogan. If you can't afford to buy, get them at a library.
