Well, good news, I receive my copy today !
First impressions : Great book, with good illustrations in A4 format.
A few pages of explanations about who is a keris, what is a keris, what a keris can do, how is a keris forged and then starts the collection of Mr.Ghiringhelli with a photo and a page of explanations per weapon. It even shows a few keris for woman "keris wanita" as Mrs. Ghinringhelli calls them.
At the end an interesting bibliography.

Dear Michel,
Two weeks ago in Jogjakarta (Indonesia), Marco gave me the original small book of "Kris Gli Invincibili" (The Invincible Krises). Amazing! I really enjoy to see the pictures of Vanna and Mario Ghiringhelli's collection. The krises and sheaths are in good classic style of Nusantara kerises (not only from Java). Good handles collection too. (Thank you, Marco). I hope someday, to get the second edition that I think it will be as amazing as the first book. Bravo...!
