Travel guides I have used around the world!
Nepal (Lonely Planet Country Guide)Nepal (Lonely Planet Country Guide) by Bradley Mayhew
Buy used from: £4.61
Better than equivalent rough guide, lots of information you won't necessarily get told on your trip - e.g. elephant bathing in Chitwan; nice pictures too
India (Lonely Planet Country Guide)India (Lonely Planet Country Guide) by Joe Bindloss
Buy new: £13.58 / Used from: £8.00
Really in depth reference book - I used it in conjunction with RG specific to the Rajasthan to plan before I went - a little too large for the back pack in my opinion
The Rough Guide to Rajasthan, Delhi and AgraThe Rough Guide to Rajasthan, Delhi and Agra by Daniel Jacobs
Buy new: £8.71 / Used from: £7.26
Lots of information about this cultural rich area of india - covers the basic golden triangle & no more - does not include varanasi for example. LP better for shopping instructions. Small to take with
The Rough Guide to Australia (Rough Guide Travel Guides)The Rough Guide to Australia (Rough Guide Travel Guides) by Margo Daly
Buy used from: £6.40
I lived in oz for a year & had this guide book with me - lots of information, one of the best overall guides to Oz
Cairns and The Great Barrier Reef Insight Pocket GuideCairns and The Great Barrier Reef Insight Pocket Guide

The Rough Guide to First-Time Latin America - Edition 2The Rough Guide to First-Time Latin America - Edition 2 by Polly Rodger Brown
Buy new: £8.99 / Used from: £25.30
I have used this for planning my most recent holiday - not hugely informative but gives you a good overview of what to see & what not to miss out on (see review!)
Rome Baedeker Guide (Baedeker Guides)Rome Baedeker Guide (Baedeker Guides) by Mairs
Buy new: £11.69 / Used from: £5.84

Rome: City Guide (Lonely Planet City Guide)Rome: City Guide (Lonely Planet City Guide) by Duncan Garwood
Buy new: £6.92 / Used from: £5.87
Much better in the realms of accommodation & places to eat. Split into areas to make planning individual days easier
Mexico and Central America (Footprint Handbooks) (Footprint Handbooks)Mexico and Central America (Footprint Handbooks) (Footprint Handbooks) by Peter Hutchison
Buy new: £12.59 / Used from: £9.00
