No wonder tiki archeologists have such a tough time figuring out who actually invented which drink.

Yer right. The link above takes you to an Amazon page where you can purchase the book Trader Vic's Tiki Party AND lower down on the page there is a reference to Tiki Road Trip where it says the author is Sven. In fact this has been an ongoing flaw with Amazon and Tiki Road Trip for quite some time. On the page for Tiki Road Trip you'll see that it lists the author of the forward first; Sven Kirsten and then it lists the author of the book itself; James Teitlelbaum. When this gets abbreviated on other references it only goes as far to show Sven Kirsten.

I would imagine there are hundreds if not thousands of similar goofs sprinkled all over Amazon.
