This fall, Periplus proudly offers nine additions to the Adventure Guide list, exploring some of the most breathtaking, historically important and lesser known regions of Indonesia and Malaysia and Singapore. These include an updated guide to the exotic volcanic island of Bali; the flora and fauna-rich rainforests of East Malaysia and Brunei; the little known islands of Nusa Tenggara that lie East of Bali from Lombok to Timor; the center of the Indonesian archipelago, Java, rich in Buddhist tradition; the primitive and wildlife-filled province of Kalimanatan: Indonesian Borneo, home to the fascinating Dyak culture; Maluku: Indonesian Spice Islands, a sun-drenched string of pearl like islands in the tropical sea of Eastern Indonesia; the truly wild, mountainous island of Sulawesi-for which this is the only guidebook available; Sumatra, home of mighty rivers, sparkling highland lakes and lush tropical rain forests; and the most comprehensive guide to West Malaysia and Singapore ever produced.

A Bit Too Personal,
By
This review is from: East of Bali : From Lombok to Timor (Periplus Adventure Guides) (Paperback)
Unlike many other guides by Periplus that are written by a team of authors, this is the work of a single person, so it feels a bit more like his own personal travelogue than a general guide.He tried to present lots of background information along with describing major attractions, and the photos are as good as usual, but for this particular region the excellent Lonely Planet guide "Indonesia's Eastern Islands" is actually better both for background and practical info.
