Thanks you for all your thought..esp Sven. I wanted to order it from B&N ( I have a gift card) but "A new copy is not available from Barnes & Noble.com at this time"

Any Idea what is up with that?

Yes, I'd have to echo this. I searched around and this thread, and quoting artcoach above, seemed the best place to do it. My wife asked permission to give my "mint" BOT to a coworker who's "into tiki" around Christmas time, and order me a replacement. Hey, why not spread the love, I figured...

Well, it's nearly May and my wife says Amazon keeps sending vague "not yet..." notices. Note, this is not a complaint -- the market works as it will -- but can the author or anyone else with industry insight shed some light on the matter?

So happens as a stopgap she got me "Tiki Style." Hey, it's a fine product and I'm glad I have one. It'll make a great gift come holiday time too. But ... how 'bout that full length product? Is the scarcity timed for the launch of Tiki Style? And, most ominously, am I possibly going to have to tell my wife she gave away my "Book of Tiki," and it's now out of print and a collector's item?
