The unbiased guide for those who love (and hate) to shop.
More than ever, Bali is eager to display the Indonesian island's renowned hospitality. As such it is an ideal base for bargains and beautiful finds - from exception ikat to sumptuous silver, funky surfer fashion to fabulous furniture. With increasing accessibility, Bali's neighbour, Lombok, is also greeting more visitors. This is the only objective guidebook written specifically with the shopper in mind. Bargaining, buyer pitfalls, cultural insights and apres-retail details are explained by expert writers who have lived in Bali for up to 25 years. Like all 'Shopsmart' guides, it commits 10% of its profits to local charities and uses environmentally friendly paper.
