New Book?
I noticed this book for sale: "Malay Weapons". Apparently it's 196 pages, can't tell, but it looks like it might be in English or at least partially so. Just published in 2009. Anyone know anything more about it.

This book, is a mix-n-match combo, from various other books which includes, DamarTAJI's "Dapur", Tammens, "De Kris - Magic Relic of Old Indonesia', the book regarding hilts.. Malayan Branch Royal Asiatic Society, "The Keris and other Malay Weapons", based on the sample pages. Whether it's a legitimate book, I have no idea.
It can be purchased from, (( here )).. a bit of info (( here )). |

The more book on keris, the better. And I think, quite a lot of seminar papers and books have been published int the recent years -- in Europe, and Asia... It is amazing. Just a small question. Do you think that Sumatran keris, Bugis Keris, Cirebonese keris, Javanese kerises they are Malay weapons? GANJAWULUNG |
