Gee, it's the same site that I've provided.

Vogan, the English version of the said book will be out, sooner or later.

I just asked the same question about this book on the magazine thread (since Alan mentions it there). Do you speak with any authority on this or are you just assuming? If it will be "later" that's fine, but if it never happens and then the original Indo book goes out of print i will be screwed paying higher prices for a hard to find book. Oh well...

And does anyone know what the dimensions of the new Invincible will be. I am seriously hoping for a much larger book than the last. Great photos, but so damn small.

Shahrial, I've had the opportunity to read the MT Arifin book now.

My mother always told me never to say anything if I could not say something nice.

I would prefer to reserve comment on KERIS JAWA, by M T Arifin.

I'd say that Invincible Keris#2 is a "must have". I will be very interested in the level of accuracy shown in this second edition.

Is this "Invincible keris 2" book referring most to Indonesian keris or Malay?From the picture outside you can tell that Malay keris are also inside,but what about Indonesian?Thanx

These two pages from Arifin book could be some interest (wood prizes in Solo market)

Actually, I thought that this was one of the least interesting or valuable parts of this book.

These prices are only relevant to the person they were given to, on the day they were given.

But, that is an Indonesian (Minang) keris on the cover.

Sumatra is as much a part of Indonesia as Java, Bali and Sulawesi.
