   |  | Song Sung Blue Love Mumbai guide to the island city GPS is for gals who can’t tell Chimbai Village from Chinchpokli. Food guides? They need to be told what’s really hot. You’re the ‘what, where, how much’ advisor for most of your friends. A Mumbai handbook wouldn’t really excite YOU, right? Our Trendy Babe-about-town has found one that even you won’t be able to resist. Just launched, the Love Mumbai guide is, as globetrotting author Fiona Caulfield puts it, ‘for the Luxury Vagabond’. And she sure gets the luxe aesthetics spot on. Slip the tome — handbound and printed on handmade paper — out of its peacock blue silk pouch. Caress the ‘touch-me’ Tibetan raw silk cover and the hand-crafted bookmark. The externals excite. But it’s the info that’ll make you keep this one close. With a Bangalore edition under her belt and many cities to follow, Fiona handpicks things that make you fall in love with a place. Love Mumbai celebrates all the delightful little spots you haunt and nuggets of info you flaunt. From where to buy antique furniture to where to get the best power breakfast, a book that’s so you, this is one reference point you’ll keep going back to, whether you’re a Mumbai mulgi, newbie or expat. So good, you’ll wish you’d written it. Love Mumbai, by Fiona Caulfield.
