The Book I've Been Waiting For All My Life

A. G. Maisey · 21st November 2015, 11:23 PM

A few days ago I received a copy of the new book written by Tim Rogers (Loedjoe) of our Forum:-

"An Annotated Bibliography of Indonesian , Filipino& Malay Edged Weapons"

This is the book I wish I had had when I began my interest in South East Asian edged weaponry. There are over 4000 entries of books and articles that deal with the subject of edged weaponry.

Additionally Tim has included a great many quotations and illustrations from historic sources that we would find difficult or impossible to access.

This is an important book for any serious collector, or student of South East Asian edged weaponry.

I am confused: is it a collection of actual books, articles and illustrations or just a list of titles?
Can you show screenshots of several actual ( random) pages?
Many thanks.

It is an annotated bibliography:- a list of published works together with comments on those published works, and with some illustrations reproduced from published works.

Essentially it guides one in the choice of reading material.

Albert posted advice of its publication some few weeks back:-
