New book about keris

Marcokeris informed us sometime in April that Mrs Ghinringhelli had produced a second book on keris. Alam Shah (I think) gave us the address of the Publisher and I immediately ordered one copy that was supposed to be published in November only.
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.
I am very happy with this book that I have not yet read but glanced upon only.
Hope that a few of you have received it or will receive it and will comment.
