Summary

Plunge into India's 'Maximum City', where the glamour and glitter of Bollywood rub against the crush of 16 million Mumbaikers, where towering apartment blocks and air-conditioned shopping malls jostle alongside gracious colonial mansions and vibrant bazaars, where the revered relics of an ancient religious culture coexist with the latest filmi hit. Best of Mumbai puts the whole frenetic package in your pocket. Book jacket.
