Internet v Guidebook

Hi I'm doing a masters research degree at London Uni,
looking at cultural discourse of the printed version of LP
guide to India and the version available on the Internet
web site. Does anybody have experience of using both and if
so I would be really grateful if you could jot down some
feelings you had about one or other media and email back
Here's hoping

P.S.I'm, particullarly interested in how western
publications present non-western desternations

   LP on the net is just a taste. Comparison is certainly not
   the stuff of a master's degree in anything.
   Desternations? Get a master's in spelling first.

   I'm puzzled about this ... is this a spoof? A quick look at
   the destination info on the LP Website and a look at the
   India book will tell you immediately that there is
   absolutely no comparison. And why should there be? The folks
   at LP aren't going to put all the info in the book on the
   Net where you can get it all for free, instead of paying to
   buy the book!
