Best Guidebooks for Bali?

Greetings,

I travelled for about 5 years throughout the world via backpack and
have been "responsible" for about 12 years now. That means that I have
a wife, a job and limited time in Bali (about 2 weeks). It also means
that I have more money than the $1.50 a day I strived for in the past.
I am looking for special accomodations, below $80 a day (obviously
would like less if possible), not in a hotel but someplace different.
Will want to stay in Ubud for a while for sure.

I can use any help at all starting with the best guidebook. I too
cursed Lonely Planet many times in the past but there are some
benefits to it also. Does anyone have a guidebook that they liked?

How about any must do's? Special restaurants? Must don'ts?

Thanks for all the help!

I like the Rough Guide.

Don't laugh during a ceremony.
