Do you, or anybody, have any info (name, date, place) on this establishment? If the photo goes into the collage, I might not use it, but it'd be good to have. The Witco book will have a broader scope than initially intended. I am back with Taschen as a publisher, and to just do a Witco catalog was too limited for them. I needed to do a recap of what Polynesian pop and Tiki was at the beginning of the book anyway, one can not assume that all who pick up the new book know the BOT. I extended that now, with all new material, to give a reference and context to where Witco came from. I am concentrating on the intersecting of 50s/60s modern and Tiki, always my favorite anyway. So I have a chapter called "What modern was.." going into art, design, and jazz of the 50s, and one called "A-Frames, Tail fins and the Jet Age", for which I am thinking about the collage. Having had 5 years between the BOT and this allowed for great new material to come together, a new generation of urban archaeologists was raised by the BOT (also: Thanks to TC!), and I am confident the new book will live up to the BOT. (Phew!) The book's title will be "TIKI MODERN and the Wild World of WITCO". Due out in August 2006.
