Format:Paperback
This book is a huge step BACKWARDS by Lonely Planet.
Compared to the previous edition content has been cut back seriously, and the chapter covering Kalimantan (Indonesian Borneo, which covers 73% of the island) is so slim it is now almost useless. The entire huge province of West Kalimantan has been totally omitted from this edition, never mind that it has, among other things, the only land crossing between Malaysian and Indonesian Borneo. The coverage of the remaining three Kalimantan provinces is also so poor that you are much better off getting the Kalimantan chapter of LP's general Indonesia guide.
As for Malaysian Borneo, I guess the guide is OK, it covers all the touristy spots already covered in Lonely Planet's Malaysia, Singapore & Brunei guide, but no more.

The quality of lonely planet guidebooks is hardly debatable, but as a quick reassurance this one too feels well researched and thorough. Two big advantages for me are that it is specifically for Borneo unlike the rival Rough Guide (my normal go-to travel book) making it smaller and more day bag friendly. Secondly, the price was great, almost half what I would have paid in Waterstones over the counter. I suppose though the real proof of the pudding is in the eating though, so we'll see how Borneo goes this year!
