The new LP Guide to Bali and Lombok was published this month. I had a quick look at it.

My first impressions were favourable. LP has managed to correct several errors that marred earlier editions:

• the index has now returned to the front of the book;

• the guide now says that the RoRo ferry leaves from Padang Bai (previous editions claimed that this ferry left from Kusamba); and

• the guide no longer claims there is a food court at the top of the Discovery mall in Kuta (the food court closed over five years ago).

Even though it is a new edition, prices keep changing. The guide claims that the price of the ferry ticket from Padang Bai to Lembar is Rp 40,000. I paid Rp 40,000 three weeks ago.
