There is another terrific book about Bali in the 1930's called "Our Hotel in Kuta" by Louise and Bob Koke. They arrived in Bali on a round the world trip and fell in love with the place - stayed and built the original Bali Beach Hotel. I think its the site where the Nantour is now located. It's a great read about the trials and tribulations of building a hotel in Bali in the 30's, humourous with some great photos. And gives an interesting insite to the Balinese. It's readily available in Bali but hard to get hold of in Australia.
