Over the last couple of weeks I have had the opportunity to read the three issues of PAMOR, and one issue of KERIS. I believe another issue of KERIS is out now, but I have not yet seen it.

KERIS is produced on lower quality paper than PAMOR, but there is a very considerable price difference in the two publications.

I'm going to sound like a wet blanket, and I would ask you all to bear in mind that what I shall now say is my personal opinion, and the opinions of others could well be different.

I would not buy either of these magazines on a regular basis. In the three issues of PAMOR I found only one article of interest, and that had some substance to it.

KERIS I leafed through , speed read the beginning of a couple of articles, and passed on the rest.

Both these magazines are the sort of thing that I would want to look through first before buying.

My recommendation would be to save your money and put it towards Haryono Haryoguritno's big book on keris, which is a true delight. Just the quality of it and the quality of photos and items photographed is sufficient to make you feel rich, even if you're not.
