Review:

From Antarctica to Zimbabwe, if you're going there, chances are Lonely Planet has been there first. With a pithy and matter-of-fact writing style, these guides are guaranteed to calm the nerves of first-time world travellers, while still listing off-the-beaten-path finds sure to thrill even the most jaded globe-trotters. Lonely Planet has been perfecting its guidebooks for nearly 30 years and as a result, has the experience and know-how similar to an older sibling's "been there" advice. The original backpacker's bible, the LP series has recently widened its reach. While still giving insights for the low-budget traveller, the books now list a wide range of accommodations and itineraries for those with less time than money. This completely updated guide to Bali and Lombok covers accommodations for all budgets; how to eat Indonesian style; notes on history, religion, and culture; plus important advice on trekking, surfing and diving. A special section on arts and crafts provides a superb encapsulated overview accompanied by evocative colour photographs. --Kathryn True
