Worth every penny.
You can order it from the bookstore of the ethnographical museum of Leiden.
The owner of the bookstore is the publisher of the book.

By the way I am not linked in any way to the bookstore/publisher I just like the book a lot! |
I totally agree with Erik. A magnificant book.
The original (German) text of Groneman already was a classic, now it is translated into English and there is very much added in this publication.
A great number of excellent photo's of keris, and numerous drawings from old Javanese manuscripts. Extensive and detailed information and feast for the eye. This is a book that will not easily be outclassed!
When I completely have read it (I also got my copy yesterday), I will write a review and post it here.
