I'm sorry they didn't have Tammens Prime .
I searched every bookseller I know and Tammens trilogy seems to have dropped totally out of sight .

Yeah, that's what I thought.

Thanks, anyway for searching.

Hey Prime, look here for Skeat and just about any other book you can imagine: http://www.bookfinder.com/search/?ac...32175_1:64:185

nechesh,
Whew! Didn't know the cost of Malay Magic book, is at USD 300. (Could get a keris for that amount...just kidding

). I guess, with the knowledge goes into the research on the subject and the scarcity of this resource, makes it a worthwhile buy.

Thanks nechesh. Excellent link. (Why I didn't find it in my search earlier...

).

Prime, i think you misread something. I just ordered this book for $30 USD. Sure, you can buy a first edition for $300 or more, but it was reprinted in 1967 and you can get those pretty cheap. Check the site again. They list from cheapest to most expensive examples.

i think Koesni's book has more acceptable explaination for mysthical power of keris...,. too bad , no english version.

Opppsss!!! My mistake. Looking at the link in the wee hours of the morning...
Thanks for highlighting...(else, ordered a $300 item when it's available at $30).

Any idea where I can get it? Bahasa Indonesia is not a problem for me.
