Who hasn't read The Book of Tiki? (Not a poll) - General Tiki

The Book of Tiki's identical cousin, Tiki Style (a shrunk-down and slightly re-worked version of the same book) is available for about $10. The book is simply a must-read -- there is currently no better encapsulation of the very topic that Tiki Central is focused on. For some here, it was their introduction to Tiki, for many here it was a documentation of something they already loved. It is worth tracking down (and really, there's not that much "tracking" involved, it's not hard to find). It is an excellent way to get up to speed with the conversation here. Other books that are excellent must-reads are Tiki Quest, by Duke & Amy Carter (a loving look at tiki collectibles, especially mugs), and Tiki Road Trip, by James Teitelbaum (a handy guide to tiki bars for the tiki traveler).
