Bill Dalton's ''Indonesia Handbook'', published by Moon Publications in California, was the main English language tourist guide book for the whole of Indonesia between the 1970s and the 1990s. == History == The book originated in 1973 as a typewritten publication, ''A Traveler's Notes: Indonesia'', printed by Dalton when he was travelling in Australia.〔 and 1974 reprint 〕 This led Dalton to form his company, Moon Publications, when he returned to California, and expand and publish his Travel Notes as a full book, the Indonesia Handbook. The earlier editions in the late 1970s were much smaller than the later editions. During the Suharto era the guide book was at times banned. By the time of the last edition, published in 1995, the book was 1,380 pages long. Moon expanded its range to publish a large number of travel handbooks, following the successful format of the Indonesia Handbook, to cover other areas, for example the ''South Pacific Handbook''〔''Moon Handbooks South Pacific'' (2005) ISBN 978-1-56691-411-6〕 by David Stanley.〔(Moon Travel Guides website: ''Green Travel Talk with David Stanley'' )〕 Dalton sold his interest in Moon Publications in 1999, and the new owners dropped the title. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Indonesia Handbook」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
