Hello Alan,

I hope you're doing well despite fire and water!

I don't have this edition. I can probably get an answer in a few months though (if it is not too recently published). Please keep us posted if you happen to solve the riddle!

Regards,
Kai

The only lead I've been able to find is that IndoMagic have this book on their online shop (though out of stock).

A preview of a couple of the pages show the layout/format that you're looking to find more information on.

However it says that it's published by Yayasan Damartaji 1998, and the cover is the same.

Thanks Jaga, that's about where I got to, too.

I thought maybe somebody else had rearranged things a bit and published a new edition, but maybe they just re-arranged it themselves.

My copy has always had missing pages, incorrectly Romanised, or maybe just incorrectly transcribed names. I've never bother to go through one by one and correct all that stuff, principally because I cannot properly read Hanacaraka script, and the published script is far from clear. I'm thinking now that I might digitise my own 35mm negatives, Photoshop crops of the result, and give them to somebody in Solo to Romanise.

But it all takes time that maybe would be better spent elsewhere.
