Another Excellent Guide from Periplus, March 21, 2004
This review is from: Sumatra (Periplus Adventure Guides) (Paperback)
Like the other Periplus guides to Java, Bali and Sulawesi, this book contains excellent background information and descriptions of often obscure and little-known attractions written by a team of expert authors along with photos of stunnning quality. It is particularly strong on its descriptions of Sumatra's exotic cultures.
Practical information is found separately in the back of the book, and is somewhat dated but still useful.
Highly recommended, even as a 2nd guidebook if you already have another general Indonesia guide stronger on practical details like Lonely Planet or Rough Guide.
