The Tiki Style/BOT got a mention in DebL's "Barfly" column of this weeks South Bay Easy Reader:

Gap-uritan VS Abercrombie & Filth:
"Taschen is publishing two scaled-down versions of its classic “The Book Of Tiki,” by Sven Kirsten, one available at bookstores, the other, an edited version, at Old Navy - the Gap-owned chain removed all images of full-frontal nudity. By contrast, Abercrombie & Fitch is said to have turned down the book because there wasn’t enough nudity. Makes me change where I want to shop Sarah Jessica Pilgrim..."

I don't quite get the way she signs off (Does she like it edited or no?), but is this true about A&F?

Regardless, I'm excited to see the BOT in my local Thursday freebie paper (even if it is in the column usually reserved for info about what's happening at all the bars in the area over the weekend).
