This is a beautiful "coffee table" book about India. It is filled with pictures from all over the country, and all photos were taken by native Indians who know and respect the country. There is a short descriptive paragraph associated with each picture which tells the nature of the photo and where it was taken. Another nice feature is that for each picture, a map of India is shown with a mark where the picture was taken. This is especially useful for someone unfamiliar with the geography. I heartily recommend this book!

While many photography books about India focus on the landscape and monuments, this book focuses on the people living in this great land. From tending to the fields to attending grade school, the pictures are a glimpse into what India is really about.

This book is a must for every international traveller's coffee table!! Indian households especially should be proud to display this book for it is surely a most priceless homage to all the beauty our country has to offer!

For anyone who isn't intersted in India to see the Taj Mahal and leave, this is for you! Photographs that show how life really is in India, the Good, the Bad and the Ugly. Wonderful photographs, that will draw you in again and again. A coffee table book that will actually get read!

This book is a definate "Coffee Table" book. It will shock you by its large size, let alone its stunning photographs. I have been to India and am traveling again in one week. I just can't get enough. This book will practically take you theretoo. Enjoy!

Of all the Day in the Life series of books, this is by far the most magnificent. Tobias has outdone himself. I LOVED THIS BOOK!

I was thoroughly dissapointed by this book. The photos aren't too interesting or unique. The only good point of this book is that all the photos come with fairly descriptive captions. Most of the full page photos are so grainy, they could have been taken with a disposable camera. I don't blame the 2 dozen photographers who contributed to the book. Just seems the publisher decided to use a lower print quality in order to sell the book at a lower price. If you want a much better book with photos that will blow you away, check out Steve McCurry's South Southeast.
