Good for you guys, and all the others mentioned. Thanks to Nick for getting the BOT in there, I really appreciate it: “Tiki is old-school,” Camara said. “It took a hit in the ’70s because it was ‘establishment’ style. I think in 2000, the popularity of Sven Kirsten’s ‘Book of Tiki’ spurred an interest and a huge subculture of fans.” Because of the Book of Tiki now being out of print and not easily available, journalists nowadays do not understand its level of influence (out of sight, out of mind), and don't bother mentioning it, their articles often making it look like the Tiki revival is a selfperpetuating fad out of nowhere. TIKI MODERN will have its own impact, but it will not compare to the BOT in the cause and effect sense. You can only understand the BOT if you have the BOT.
