I would also recommend David Van Duren's book Krisses A Critical Bibliography as a guide to extant publications on the subject of keris .

All the handles in Tammens De Kris vol 3 are a right attribution but the accuracy of description is modest (also the quality of photos).
David Van Dureen's book is really great!! But somethings is lost: J.G.Dieles / Blanke wapens uit de Gordel der Smaragd .... some indonesian fan book or article (there are local newspaper in Jawa with article about keris).... keris' video (N.Geographic?)....all auction catalogues (Sotheby, Christie, ...) .
