Do you have chapter headings? Anything about the author?

This is an English only discussion group, so if you wish, you can PM me. Thanks.

As mentioned... here are the picture of the book and its contents pages. The extras I found in this book is that it analyses the supply and demand, with a flow chart covering the major keris markets, on a general level.

In the Executive Summary, Malay Art Gallery was mentioned, specifically.

The layout and illustration needs improvement. It feels like reading a report than a book.

Thanks for your efforts in this matter, Shahrial.

I'll be in Solo in a couple of weeks, and I'll see if I can get hold of a copy at that time---if its still in print. A lot of books in Indonesia are produced on very short print runs.

Check your PM.
