Meyers 'Oceanic Art' for .... $20 - Collecting Tiki

Although is it really reading when all I've done so far is simply flip through all the color photographs? I swear someday I will get to actually reading the text in this book. The bookstore where I found my copy had two versions - a two volume slipcased set(which I could open), and a thicker, single volume copy (which was shrinkwrapped). The cover height, width, and cover photos for both versions were exactly the same. I bought the slipcased version, as it appeared to have perhaps 100-150 more pages in it (it has 640 total pages) While the single volume was marked $5 - $10 less, I chose to go with quantity this time around. It would be very easy for a store clerk, fulfilling a mail order, to accidently select the two-volume set in place of the single volume. Vern
