Hello,
Does anybody have the book "Balinese Keris" by Kam Garrett? Is it worth buying? |

Yes, I have it and it is worth buying IMO, I learned some interesting information, the author lived in Bali for a long time.
I bought it from the Leiden Museum bookshop. Regards |

Apart from the keris book, Garrett Kam has also published these pieces of writing:-
https://independent.academia.edu/GarrettKam I would suggest that everybody should buy this book, together with Pak Neka's publications and form their own opinions. Perhaps the value of any piece of writing is found in the knowledge of the reader and that which he wishes to learn from what he reads. |
