I have both Book of Tiki and Tiki Quest. You really should have both; they are both excellent. The Book of Tiki is THE tiki/Polynesian Pop Culture "bible", if you will. Read it and you will start to understand what this whole tiki thing is all about and why we all love it so. Tiki Quest is chock full of pictures of damn well nearly every tiki mug, ashtray, restaurant menu, swizzle stick, you name it and it all belongs to one couple - Duke and Amy Carter (very nice people, might I add). It's more pictures than words. So, you will definitely need both! When you are ready to move on, there are a bunch more books you'll need to own. Check out Amazon.com and type in "Shag" or "tiki". People have posted their favorite book lists there... Just my two bits. And, Welcome! Deery Luau
