Interesting comment Semar.

Could you please let us know exactly why, in your opinion, this "Kris Hilts" book is not particularly good?

I don't own a copy myself, its one of those books that I meant to buy as soon as it was published, then I got side tracked and forgot it.

It surprises me a little that you have found it to be inadequate, as Dr. Scolari (Vanna Scolari Ghiringhelli) is well versed in mainstream Hindu culture, and in fact is a teacher of the Hindu language, as such she is well versed in mainstream Hindu beliefs and I would have thought, ideally placed to comment upon the possibilities of iconographic interpretation of keris hilts.

Please enlighten us as to why you find that Dr. Scolari has failed to satisfy your expectations with the publication of this book.

Thank you,

Alan.
