More than an introduction and less than a full course on Balinese architecture, this is an excellent little guide.
Plenty of great illustrations on every page, and lots of meaty but hightly readable text is packed together in sidebars and full essays.
Very lightweight (meaning it is physically portable), this could come along with a traveler to Bali and be a valuable asset towards understanding temples, villages, etc.
Great technical companion to any of the style books on Bali (Bali Style, At Home in Bali, etc), which usually concentrate more on look and style & have a large variety of beautiful photos.
