I sent my very first proposal mock up, which had the basic concept and chapters in it, (but less images off course), to Chronicle Books in 1992. Over the years they turned it down three times, as did many other publishers. In retrospect I am glad, because now, with Taschen, it came out the best book it can be. No whinig about how many color pages, or how many pages at all: I got to ad on pages as I went along, starting with only 180 allowed, to the final amount. They were too busy, and I was the only one who knew the subject, so I got to lay it out and make it pretty much the way I wanted it, no meddling (very little, I picked my battles). A rare occurence in any creative project. Bless Tiki.
