 Rating:  - Essential BookTook this book on our Honeymoon to Bali in September. Absolutely essential tool for finding the huge number of hidden treasures. We were at Nusa Dua which was poorly covered, but bare in mind that the Lonely books are for your globe trotting surfer. But the rest of the island was very well covered and gave some great detail on the main attractions. The Island guide was very useful giving details of local customs and amenities. Would make sure this is in your pocket when you go. A few tips 1. Watch the "helpers" at the airport, they will swamp you at the conveyor and fleece you for the pleasure of carrying your bag. Just say no. 2. If you are at one of the big resorts/ hotel complexes, hire you first taxi through the hotel. Then get talking to the driver who will happily pick you up outside the gates for 1/3 of the price. Full day tour was £20. Not bad for 14 hours out and about. 3. The guide will take you to places where he gets a cut, but they are still cheap places to go and you would never find them normally. 4. Get to the North of the Island, rainforest, monkeys and some amazing view 5. Save your money for a trip to the Ubud "Art Market". It is not an art market but a great place to pick up absolutely everything. 6. If you ask a guide he will take you to the outskirts of Ubud where the small workshops back onto shop front. Prepare for some major bargains. 7. Haggle Haggle Haggle, then Haggle some more. Always ask for an afternoon price then the ultimate walk way price! But don't start bantering if you ain't buying. Rating:  - Can't do much wrong with this oneHad the lonely planet SE asia book but had to buy this one because Bali is not covered in enough detail in the big bible. Found it to be useful and wouldn't want to have gone without it but at the same time I didn't find it absolutely essential. There are so many hotels, restaurants, sightseeing tours, spa places that you can easliy figure out online or when you're there. Book gives you good idea / general directions of bali (also of where to go/what places are like) and the rest - you can figure out when you're there ;)  Try searching the Internet for "Bali and Lombok (Lonely Planet Country Guide)" or Ebay for "Bali and Lombok (Lonely Planet Country Guide)".
