What book on keris did you write?

Hi David,

Thank you for the welcome and congratulations for your work and also to all the members of the forum! The title of my book is "The Kris, a passion from Indonesia", I self-published it in January 2008 and Alam Shah made a review at that time.
Best regards

Dear Sirs,

here comes the second new member. I discovered this forum about a half of year ago, and have read the posts with greatest interest every day.

Please, be patient with my very limited English and stupid questions, I am an absolute newcomer in the world of Keris.

Thank You very much!

Regarding this Naga keris - is the Ganja really separate? The same question I have regarding the Keris from the thread "Eastern Java keris/Pamor Bendo Segodo??" from 17th June.

Welcome to the forum Jean. I have your book and understand that you buy this keris because the sheat and handle. I also like the jurigan style wrangkas. And when you see the complete keris in the book and the blade fits perfect inside the sheat it will be like Mr. Maisey write before, it isn't a recent keris. I also have handled keris in this form before.

Hello Marco,

Thanks for your welcome. I am not in Indonesia at present but hope to visit again next year. I am glad to report that I am working on a new book "Kris hilts, small masterpieces from Indonesia" with combined text in English and French which I hope to publish at the end of the year (if I can find an interested publisher) and with better pictures that the last one.
Best regards
Jean

Hi David,

Actually the book is no longer available in English version (I printed 120 copies only) except may be with Erik Farrow but at a quite high price...
As pointed-out by Alam Shah, the expert collectors may not learn much from it except to see various and classified specimens of krisses, hilts, and daggers, I wrote it mostly for the kris beginners and it was quite successful in the NL especially.
Best regards
