Good, but Could Be Better, 9 Jan 2005

By	W. L�szl� (Indonesia) - See all my reviews

This is currently the best overall guide to Indonesia for independent travellers. It covers enough attractions to keep people occupied for months, and is more than enough for those with an average interest in the country.
As usual with this series, it is strong on practical details like prices, public transport and city maps, though one should never forget that prices in particular will have changed by the time one gets there - this 7th edition was researched in 2002, and reflects the situation as it was then.
There is also more than enough background information about culture and history for most readers.
Note however that coverage of remoter, less-visited regions is poorer - the chapter on Kalimantan (Indonesian Borneo) is nearly useless, and the one on Papua (Indonesian New Guinea) is little better.
Those with a deeper interest in Indonesia, or with an interest in a particular region, might want more detailed guides to those areas - Lonely Planet has great guides to Java and Nusa Tenggara, while Periplus has eight separate ones to all parts of the country, though the Periplus ones are best backed up with this book for practical details.

Wait, Wait, Wait!!!!!, 26 Jan 2000

By	meadtom99@yahoo.co.uk (UK) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Lonely Planet : Indonesia (Paperback)

I find the Lonely Planet a very good source of information when travelling or researching a continent, and this is no exeption. BUT, there is a new edition being released in about 2 weeks (31 Jan. 2000), as you will see this edition is 1997, with all the shake up in Indonesia over the last few years you will appretiate the importance of a later edition. Having said this I ordered the old copy about a week ago, then found out about the new edition, and Amazon have no problem in ordering me the new copy, and me returning my old one. This is really just to save you the hassel too!
