Pegboard Press is Duke Carter -- Duke and his wife Amy could not find a publisher that was willing to put the book together they way they wanted it -- as a full-color, large picture, not-a-price-guide loving tribute to tiki collectibles. Rather than put out a book that didn't fit their vision, they put their money where their mouth was, and self-published under the name Pegboard Press. That's why the book costs a little more than you might be used to seeing for a paperback.

I'm sure Duke & Amy are just as disappointed, if not more so, that some of the pages fall out in people's copies. But in the end, it doesn't change that there's no other book like it, and I'd gladly pay twice the price for it.
