Oi you lot,

Just picked up a couple of older books -

"The Golden Haze" - Roderick Cameron
Basically, he re-traces Captain Cooks voyages
between 1958 & 1961. It has a nice montage of a Tiki made up of bits of newspaper on the cover.

"Tangaroa's Godchild" - Olaf Ruhan
Appears to be about a New Zealander farting about in the South Pacific.

I doubt that either could be described as 'essential', as I've survived this long without reading them but both look like worthy additions to any Tiki bookshelf.

Did anyone mention Don the Beachcomber's "Hawai'i Rum Drinks" book? It got good press here a while back and it lived up to the early reviews.
