What's on your bookshelf?

Apology accepted, but unnecessary. I was merely trying to make my position more clear.

Some but certainly not all, many more a boxed away until the reading room shelving is complete...I'll be happy to publish them later if there is interest

Some are of no literary use to me at all as I only read English...but images often speak volumes, more so if the caption that are not in English translate well.

And more.

Wow. Thanks Gavin. Great library!

Nice illustrative posting Gavin. I would love to find that Keris Bali book at a reasonable price some day.

Thanks Harry, David.

David, remind me near the end of October and I'll have a dig around for you.

Here is a snap of some more I have unpacked...I have a long list of images somewhere within my PC of other titles that I am yet to seek out...I'll post them if I find them.

Hi David,
I have this Keris Bali book written by I.B Dibia and although the author did his best, the information provided in it is not very accurate IMO.

Hi Gavin,
Where did you find this nice copy of the rare book "Armes Orientales" by P. Holstein? I saw it for sale on Amazon I think but at an incredible price!
Regards

Thanks for your appraisal on this book Jean. One reason i have not put down the high prices i have seen it selling for is lack of personal experience with the quality of information it holds. While i agree that kindness is a generally a good course of action i appreciate your honest assessment.
