Adequate for a Short Trip,

This review is from: Indonesia Handbook, 3rd (Footprint - Travel Guides) (Paperback)
This guide only really covers the major, better-known attractions of each region in Indonesia.The Lonely Planet or Rough Guide are much better for a more in-depth coverage of the entire country, or go for the Periplus ones for more detail on particular regions.
