Thread: New guidebook or old?

So I am using my old guidebook. So far so good I think though I haven't had a chance to compare it.

You probably can. I saw one there. Any space in your luggage for one pale large individual to sneak in.?

I don't think the new edition gives you more or better info. What about just downloading the chapters you need in order to carry less weight... Edited by: zauberberg

Its been recommended to me on India mike Hmm.... Take the old book...

Take the old book. You can find anything new in the city by talking to the locals.

I'd buy one here either way. It's 1kg of a baggage allowance with no legroom. You can pick up a 2007 book for very little, sometimes even for free (people leaving the country who'll donate it). I suppose things'll have changed for the 2009 book but... I'd just wing it in Delhi (you know your way around there anyway) and see about a book once you get to PaharGanj. Have fun! When are you arriving?

Go for the new, you can get it for less than two days' budget. If you find the right place and bargain hard you can buy it for around 800 rupees or so.
