Review 'The Javanese Kris'

[Albert]

A lot is said about prices and shipping, but not much about the book itself. I am very curious what other collectors think of the contents of 'The Javanese Kris'. Look forward to more opinions.

Probably because alot of us are still trying to figure out where to find this book and how to get it shipped so that it is affordable for us. I am sure that more actual reviews will come once people actually have it in their possession to read.

I found the original German version at Eur 1250,-

Now that is expensive, and difficult to read for a lot of us...

Took some time to find a seller offering the antique version.

On Google all you find now is the english version.
Meanwhile I bought it from our fellow forumite with the nice "mytribal" bookshop.

It really is a nice executed book. Fabulous pictures of very old original items from old collections.

I will try to do some reading this weekend
