Great book. Easy to read and the best travel book for India I have looked at.

India-Culture Smart!: the essential guide to customs & culture

by: Nicki Grihault
I am preparing for my first trip to India. I purchased this book along with the Lonely Planet guides to India and Rajasthan. I must say that this book doesn't really give that much more by way of guidance than your basic wikipedia article or the section on etiquette in the LP guide. Most of the book consists in glosses on Indian religion, politics, and culture. While there is worthwhile advice to be found in this book, I do not recommend it as a way to understand Indian culture or to follow Indian norms.

Wanderlust and Lipstick: For Women Traveling to India

by: Beth Whitman
This was a disappointment for me. Most of it was very general, common sense material - not what I was looking for and a waste of my time and money. I've never been to India, and I felt like I am no more prepared after reading this than I was before.

Frommer's India

by: Pippa de Bruyn
Do some research and get something that focuses on where you are. I was in Banglore, which makes most of the book worthless (I think the more standard tourism sites tend to be in northern India).
Asking locals works well too.
