Love Travel Guides are a complete departure from the traditional mass-market books. Love Travel guides present a curated selection of Indian experiences that have been chosen to help the traveller fall in love with India. These discerning guides celebrate the unique style and beauty of India. Love Delhi, one in Indian series of Love Travel Guides, details the most authentic experiences in Delhi and the surrounding region including Agra and Jaipur, Varanasi, Amritsar and Rishikesh. Primarily targeting international visitors to Delhi, the guide is designed for the discerning traveller who wants authenticity in style. The 152-page book, handmade in India, comprises eight sections including an overview of the city with 'must knows and must dos' and presents the best places to eat, drink, shop, and visit. It is based on the 'love stories' shared by locals; including chefs, artists, designers, architects, flower sellers and auto drivers. Love Delhi is printed on handmade paper and crafted with care by local designers and crafts people. The hand-woven silk covers were developed in partnership with Sonam Dubal the Delhi based fashion designer; and the hand-loom khadi trimmed with rani pink Mysore silk a that the books come in are by Sonali Sattar of Hidden Harmony. Fiona Caulfield, founder of Love Travel Guides, believes that falling in love with a city is just as exciting as falling in love with a person. Your senses become more engaged and you simply feel more alive, she says. The simplest criteria for inclusion in the guide was 'does this place help you fall in love with this city?' If yes, then it was in; if no then it was out. Simple. 10% of the profits go to charity.

Review:
These cherishable guides are a gold mine of local know how. I was so impressed... For one thing, it's their appearance: each is hand-bound using old Indian paper making techniques, with a hand-woven, khadi cover. I cherish the slubbed pages and rough hewen edges. Another reason I rely on them is because Caulfield's local knowledge is compelling, especially her encyclopedic shopping savvy - always handy in India. I'll never shop in India again without her. The loving way she compiled them is a rarity in the mass-produced guide book market. --UK Financial Times - How to Spend It
It looks, and feels, like a book of secrets. And so it is: all the savvy insider knowledge a traveller craves is here. --The Australian
The standard bearer among India guides. Fiona Caulfield's cloth bound books with a personal touch are a must for city visits. --Departures
