Kalap saat IBF 2011 yang lalu. Harganya jadi sangat murahhhhhhh.
Saat dibuka kok tidak seperti harapan yah. Tadinya berharap isinya seputar batik. Dalam artinya sejarah, cara membuat, cara membuat, cara merawat hingga penggunaa. Karena setahu saya ada pakem tertentu untuk pemakaian sebuah kain batik, tidak sembarang.

Isinya malah lebih banyak berupa foto kain batik
Diintip kok lebih keren isi lemari almarhumah eyang putri saya yahhhhh
Tapi tetap saja dibeli, sekedar melengkapi buku tentang Jawa
