Thanks a lot Tim for your appreciation.... It was a long job, but the result enjoyed to all the collectors :)
|
Yes, a very good work and an outstanding collection! Worth the buy! ;)
|
I fully concur with the appreciation given by Tim and Detlef, congratulations and thanks to Marco for this excellent reference book!
Regards :) |
I did not order a copy of Marco's book, but I have had the opportunity to have a very close look at it.
This is a quality production, it is hard-cover with a dust cover, the quality of binding and printing is beyond criticism, the materials used are first class, the photographs are excellent. Importantly, it provides a reference lexicon in English language terms that is very easily understood, something that will assist collectors outside the areas from which these hilts originated. |
Thank you so much to all keris-friends for the nice words. The third reprint of the book is now available.
|
Finally a tribute for the superb quality book of hilts. A great reference and should be in every collector's bookshelf.
Well done Marco! |
Congratulations, Marco. Your book really deserves the success it has obtained.
Nice photos and beautiful collection ! |

@ Marco: In addition, isn't it a good idea to upload a coverpic? It deserves a little more promotion. |
