Excellent resource for travelling,
This review is from: Java (Lonely Planet, 2nd edition) (Paperback)
This is one of the better travel books I've ever used. It provides information about food, lodging, and activites that are helpful whether you're travelling on an unlimited or, like me, a shoestring budget. The maps are helpful; very detailed and usually only showing the parts of cities that are interesting to tourists. There are excellent and insightful cultural essays that really add to the traveller's enjoyment. Take this book if you're off to Java. It's a wonderful wonderful place, so don't miss it if you've ever considered going East!

This review is from: Java (Lonely Planet, 2nd edition) (Paperback)
This is the book, that you have to take with you. Its not the first time I took Lonley planet books with me. Its saved me a lot of money with very good b&b recommendations. The money you spend for the book you probablly earn the first night you take the advice about the hotels.

This review is from: Java (Lonely Planet, 2nd edition) (Paperback)
This is a very well-written book, containing both exhaustive background and practical travel information on Java! It is MUCH better than the Java section of Lonely Planet's general Indonesia guide - lots of "off the beaten track" places included. Despite being a few years old now, it remains highly recommended - you just have to be prepared for the prices being higher!
