Although we did not personally print and bind the books, we are still very embarrassed and feel responsible for any quality issues. So as a remedy we'd like to offer a replacement to anyone who has had a problem with their binding. Just send your defective copy to us via USPS media mail (will cost under $2) at the address on the front page of the book and we'll send you a signed replacement copy at our expense.

Sorry about any inconvenience or hard feelings.

A very generous offer, but I'll decline, although a signed copy is indeed tempting. Anyway, I don't think this is your fault, and so I wouldn't necessarily expect you to fix it. I think you did a great job putting it together, and you definitely tried to make it a durable book. Personally, I'm glad you put the extra money into the printing, I love those thick pages and if it means a not so great binding, I'll accept that. I know that's not what you had in mind, but that's life, right? I don't think you have anything to be embarrassed about. It's more than generous of you to offer replacements, but I have to agree with some of the other folks that have said that it was amazing for you guys to even go through the trouble of making this book in the first place. I'll probably take mine to Kinko's and that'll be just fine. Juno's idea of coil binding just seems too cool.

Having not met either of you before, (at least I don't think I have) and not gotten a chance to express this in person, I'd like to say thanks for putting this together. Book of Tiki has been my favorite for a few years now, but I have to say that TikiQuest has, dare I say it, unseated it. I'm still in awe of a mug collection with even half of what's packed in that book.
I second the motion-- where can I get one of those cool mugs? :tiki:
