The advertising didn't mention that the charger was onlyto be used for NiCad or NMH batteries.Lithium rechargeables need a different charger.Since the price was very low, I trashed it and bought the correct one from Staples here locally.

Gladly I did not choose this guidebook for my recent vacation to India and what a pleasure it was to see all the backpackers faithfully reading the LP like a bible and doing everything it says along the well beaten path. I was pleased to be heading the other way as all the rest followed the LP cheap tourist track. The India Handbook was a fantastic alternative. Smaller, concise, and much more informative.

The book is amazinly detailed. However the rates of hotels in Himachal Pradesh (where I have just returned from) have changed drastically - the book being more than a year and a half old. Be ready for prices twice what is in the book.

This is the kind of book that (along with Gael Baudino's other elvish novels) creates it's own universe, it's own logic and it's own magic. It's one of the books I read over and over, just to go back there. The characters have believable passion and purpose, and everything really is touched with an otherworldly kind of light. I'd love to say more, but I'd hate to give anything away. It's better to just read for yourself a few times...

I found this book,the second in a trilogy, almost impossible to put down.It is a beautifully written blend of Historical fact and (is it really) fiction. Gael Baudino exposes the hipocracy of the Church and the damage caused by the Papal schism on one hand; and the beauty and power,of unconditioal love and positive thought on the other. I found myself recalling the words of Martin Armstrongs poem "The Gage" (Man afraid to be alive shuts his soul in senses five). I believe that the thoughts and ideas evoked by this book will continue to influence my thoughts and actions for the rest of my life. Can't wait to get my hands on the third book of this trilogy.

It appears as though the entire text of the instructions are abridged. The instructions make up a small part of this small book. Maybe only five pages. The instructions are not different than what is found online. The rest of the book talks about Vatican II and its changes, which isn't bad, but if you are buying this book you are already probably well informed on these changes.
