The fact that the reviewer at Amazon suggested "Why not devote half the book to Shag?" speaks volumes about what I view as a sheeple mentality. Shag is well known and WAS interesting at first, he does a grand job of reflecting and even defining the look (or look back) of the early Sixties "Space Age Modern" or Rat Pack era.....over and over and over again.... Witco is something mostly unknown and unexplored by many retro Tiki fans such as myself. I knew what Witco was but had not had much interest in it until I saw your book. Now I see loads of potential and have many ideas of what I would like to do (the carving family I dealt with in the Philippines specialized in heavy wooden furniture with anthro & zoomorphic themes). It may take some time to catch on (if ever), the current popular trend (especially in Bars & Restaurant) decor and lighting seems to be 30s-40s deco, (a long way from the clunky funky 70s) so it may take awhile. BUT you certainly got my attention! :D Meanwhile it might be nice if Witco stayed unpopular at least long enough for us to afford some! :wink:
