New book about keris

G'day Patrick,

There was a translation done of "Budaya Nasional".

My understanding is that it was commissioned by Hardiono of Surabaya. Pak Hardiono was an important dealer of some years ago, and he has now passed away.

Back in the 1990's I noted a small number of these translations available through a dealer in Solo.

I have not seen a translation for sale for many years.

In any case, it was a very, very bad translation, and in my opinion it was so difficult to understand that it could in itself cause misunderstandings.

I do have a copy of it somewhere. If you care to email me privately we may be able to work something out.
