 Who remembers Lonely Planet books? 

We spent a few months in India years ago and, since we weren’t going south at all, we cut the book in half to save weight.

 Oh the memories. I did that in 1997, cutting out every one of the European countries (to save weight) that I didn't visit when I backpacked 13 countries across Europe. 

Kinda wish I was broke and young so I could go do the others...
