I didn't want to open a debate about where some publisher is located. I just wanted to find new publishers so I have a wider selection.

I'm actually interested in buying two guides for an upcoming trip: Laos & Indonesia. I was expecting to find different publishers, so I could take a look at the most updated guide.

Here's the result of my little investigation (I don't think it's going to be too useful to anyone else, but anyway).

To be honest, it seems like there are only two good sources for both countries:
