 900 pages and not that great December 13, 2009

Highlights of disappointment - The review of Pasar Seni (art/handicraft market) doesn't tell you it's in the middle of some kind of disneyland that you have to pay admission to get into and, once there, has very little of interest. Also, I want to go to the Textile Museum but it doesn't even receive a mention in the book. The hotel front desk says it doesn't open until 2 on Sundays and one website says it opens at 9:30 so I need a tie-breaker. This book weighs a ton but lacks a lot.
 Great Book with Dependable Information... September 7, 2009

We spent a month in Indonesia and found this book to be up to date and thorough.

the book came in great shape and at the time that the seller indicated. I had hoped it would come a little faster - the way it was shipped took about a week - but the seller told me that right off the bat. Good experience.

As someone who left Indonesia years ago, this guide is an interesting reminder. A little superficial maybe. It's a travel guide and not a political history book, so it omits a lot of bloody history about the previous Suharto dictatorship.
But the photos are nice and convey some of the tropical beauty of the countryside in Java. The authors show several scenic spots, though focused on Java since most of the people are there. Bali gets a lot of coverage, because foreigners throng to its beaches and nightclubs.
 good- but very very broad August 24, 2008

I'm at the end of my 4 months living in Jakarta. I bought this book in the states before going but when I arrived in Jakarta, i was originally very disappointed by the thinness of the jakarta section. The lack of depth was a problem throughout the book. However, I later traveled to Yogjakarta, Bandung, Bogor, Bali, Lombok, and the Gili Islands, making this book actually pretty useful. Although it doesn't have extensive information on each area, it does cover a lot of areas in a good-enough way.
However.. since the vast majority of people who come to Indonesia do not actually travel to many different places (usually just around Bali, or Java), I would recommend a book which focuses more on the place you will actually go, since you are otherwise paying for and carrying around a lot more bulk than is necessary.
(Update 2009): Last summer, i spent another 2 months in Indonesia during which I was based in Yogyakarta. I again had the great opportunity of doing a lot of internal traveling, particularly within Java. I would like to again say that this book has a huge breadth of knowledge about soo many different amazing places way off of the beaten track of Bali. My indonesian girlfriend had not even heard of many of them... i was able to really get in touch - a deep touch - with indonesia.
