My IM Crib notes have no ISBN that I can find and currently not available at any bookstore BUT with them you are guaranteed not to run into any hordes of backpackers or give business to an unworthy &/or shamelessly plugged hospitality outfit!!!

A little known travel guide book is Bhraman Sangi published from Kolkata....
I like it because it is very detailed and good for shoestring traveling......The western Guide books tend to deal India in a very superficial manner....their version of shoestring is actually not so shoestring for an average Indian....like they will claim that for shoestring budget assume your expenditure to be 10-15 USD....now that translate into 500-700 rs... which is hardly shoestring for an average Indian.... The flopside however is that Bhraman Sangi has been shoddily translated from Bangla to English, is lopsided in favour of West Bengal....and other favourite destinations of Bengalis.... Nevertheless...for its price it never pinches |
