Ganesha Bookshop
About
Ganesha is one of those rare bookshops that justifies an entire trip. The shelves are organised with intelligence and care — extensive sections on Balinese history and art, Hindu philosophy, Indonesian literature in translation, Javanese batik, and a superb travel section covering every corner of Southeast Asia. Second-hand titles are mixed with new stock throughout. The owners are knowledgeable and opinionated about their recommendations. A small reading corner at the back is perfect for spending an afternoon with a coffee from next door. The shop has outlasted every digital disruption.
