I would also recommend David Van Duren's book Krisses A Critical Bibliography as a guide to extant publications on the subject of keris .

All the handles in Tammens De Kris vol 3 are a right attribution but the accuracy of description is modest (also the quality of photos).

David Van Dureen's book is really great!! But somethings is lost: J.G.Dieles / Blanke wapens uit de Gordel der Smaragd .... some indonesian fan book or article (there are local newspaper in Jawa with article about keris).... keris' video (N.Geographic?)....all auction catalogues (Sotheby, Christie, ...) .

Thanks Boedhi for joining us. You information is very welcome and i look forward to the English edition of this book. Good things are well worth waiting for.

I am bumping this to the top wondering if there has been any move on creating an English edition. How 'bout it Boedhi (or anyone else), any news?

A note:
a new indonesian book with the same title: "keris jawa" (author M.T. Arifin) would be edit in indonesia.
Is this true? If yes some keris lover could kindly give me any notice about it?
Thanks.

A good new from new year:
The new Vanna Ghiringhelli book about keris will be soon in print.

The book publisher is italian: "Tipografia Saviolo"
The name of the book is "Keris Invincible II°"
The book is not in italian language but only in english language
The book has a big size and is full of nice large colour photos.

Two mounths ago I saw a print preview in Milan: is about 150 Ghiringhelli's keris never seen in other book before. One page with the picture of keris the other with description.
The quality of the book (edition, photos and written texts) would be EXCELLENT!!

That's good news indeed. Any idea, what's the estimated cost of the book?

Alam
I don't know the cost but other books about custom knives of the same publisher are about 80 euro
