Alfred A. Knopf, Inc. is an American publishing house that was founded by Blanche Knopf and Alfred A. Knopf Sr. in 1915.
From the start, Knopf focused on European translations and high-brow works of literature. During World War I these books were cheap to obtain and helped establish Knopf as an American firm publishing European works.
In 1960, Random House acquired the Alfred A. Knopf publishing house. Knopf published textbooks until 1988, when Random House's schools and colleges division was sold to McGraw Hill.
An absolutely in depth guide of Bali, Balinese culture and Balinese history, as well as useful as a tour guide. I definitely would recommend this book for anyone interested in Bali. It has wonderful drawings, pictures, paintings, diagrams and any other kind of graphic to show anything visually. Full of beautiful pictures. Totally loved it.
