I got my copy today... signed & numbered.
But as soon as I opened it, I noticed it has a major flaw: it comes in only 100 copies!
I had high expectations from this book... and they all were exceeded!
From my perspective, Jean's book is the best book on the Keris I have seen so far and definitely the best one I have (and I have quite a few).
It is precise, clearly explained, richly illustrated and very practically structured. Because of its clear and well defined structure, the information in it is very easily accessible, turnig the book into a very useful and practical tool for any collector. In other words, it is exactly the book that many collectors were waiting for, as Alan mentioned in his posting.
Thank you Jean!
PS: I however believe that this book should be made available to many more than 100 lucky collectors.
