Both will actually work. The Purple Orchid was the first to honor my work by wallpapering their men's room, (then after they demanded, the womens' restroom too), with pages from the Book. This wall covering is an old tradition in theme bars like Neptune's Net, which used to have one toilet wallpapered with matchbooks, the other with buttons.

Then there is that nouveaux Tiki bar in downtown Orlando(?), where me and Naomi and Humuhumu got busted because I took them into the men's room to show them how the owners had color-xeroxed and blown up images from the book, and mixed it with Shag and other Tiki sources to a pleasing effect. (I still liked the Purple Orchid job better).

And consider: At Taschen's price, with ca 250 full color pages, using the original pages is actually cheaper than color copies, only 8 c (!) per page (or 16 c, if you want to use both sides and need two copies), and probably more colorfast and durable, paper-wise.
