And probaly because of that reason it has no ISBN number..And due to that and the posebility of small number of print difficult to find. I was luck to see one on marktplaats.. you know the site. It is a book of 192 pages, soft cover front in green the back is white with text. On cover front there is in black a djogja keris standing on this tip on left side. and rightside the name of book and the name of tammens. from the style of the cover you would think the book is older than from 1999.

regards and much luck finding the book..

The Groneman book arrived yesterday in the mail.
It is a great book with really beautiful illustrations.
Worth every penny.

You can order it from the bookstore of the ethnographical museum of Leiden.
The owner of the bookstore is the publisher of the book.

By the way I am not linked in any way to the bookstore/publisher I just like the book a lot!

I totally agree with Erik. A magnificant book.
The original (German) text of Groneman already was a classic, now it is translated into English and there is very much added in this publication.
A great number of excellent photo's of keris, and numerous drawings from old Javanese manuscripts. Extensive and detailed information and feast for the eye. This is a book that will not easily be outclassed!
When I completely have read it (I also got my copy yesterday), I will write a review and post it here.
