The Rough Guide to Indonesia is a must for anyone with serious travel in mind. Having visited Indonesia myself, this book will be an invaluable insight for travellers into a country of enormous cultural differences. It is as accurate as it is possible for a travel book to be in a country where political change makes accuracy an uncertainty.
The individual sections on each region make it easy to plan routes, with excellent references on places to stay, shop, eat and explore. Whether you are a backpacker who wants to soak up culture until you are fit to burst, or wish to veg. out in a decent hotel for a couple of weeks this book has it all.

There is also a handy language section at the back, for people who are not afraid to try the local language.
A good all round book packed with useful facts and background information. You will not be disappointed in the purchase of this book.

After a long search on the web I finally found a "The Rough Guild" guild book to Indonesia. The problem is the The Rough Guide has stopped publishing this book some time ago and the only alternative would be a Lonely Planet guide. This particular book was published in 1999 but I always say "a guild book is better then no guide book" :)
The information contained within is to a high standard which one comes to expect from The Rough Giuld but in this case outdated. In it's time this book would have been spot on, the maps are detailed, which should be current (finger crossed) and the list of local customs should still stand. All other information you might as well take with a pinch of salt, prices, hotels, restaurants would have changed by now.
In my opinion it's best to have a guild book and one thing I have learnt (the hard way) is not to go anywhere 'blind'. To summaries, a good book but outdated hence the *** rate.
