This is a colorful and useful book for short-term travellers to the New Delhi area who want a guide to show them around. It is not exhaustive, nor is it for the budget travel as far as food and accommodations are concerned. However, as either a supplement or a stand alone guide to the sights, it is easy to carry, has great pictures and drawings like all of the DK books, and provides a good overview of key sights by type. I planned two brief trips through Delhi and New Delhi and the book got me around just fine.
