|
 | The Rough Guide to Indonesia, 1st edition by Stephen Backshall
Buy used from: $1.52 Another practical guide - this first edition was better than Lonely Planet for "off the beaten track" places, but the 2nd one is worse, omitting the entire region of Maluku

Again, combines great background info, nice photos and practical details
