Does the magazine get distributed to San Diego area Borders or Barnes & Noble? The last one I saw in a book store had C'Al on the cover.

I always try to keep the most recent issue as well as all avaiable back issues in stock just for completists. (@Freaky Boutiki in Mission Beach) Heather's latest cover is so amazing I'm sure i'll be re-ordering quickly.

I can't help but smile when some people spot the magazine on our countertop and gasp aloud to no one in particular "This is all about tikis!" and clutch it to their chest like a suprise valentine. Suddenly warmed by a feeling of connectedness with tiki lovers everywhere.

Kinda like I did when I stumbled upon a little basement zine pasted-up like a ransom note on what looked like an old paper bag. "This says Tiki News!" I shouted at the startled hipster behind the counter at Krazy Kats many years ago... Instead of calling the cops, she smiled back at me.

I had the same reaction to Tiki News when I stumbled upon it at Whacko in Hollywood back in ... what ?.....96' ?

I still have all the issues I bought. I'm only missing a few.

I wish OTTO would put them all into a book..like a complete Box Set of Tiki News. I miss Tiki news
