Gosh, bigbro~ did YOU write a book about vintage tiki?!! ;-p Just joking.
Kinda.

No. I wrote TWO. :D
Some people here have an interest in the early Tiki revival history and its pioneers, like the story of Tiki News, and how the BOT came about, and for those folks I gladly share my experiences. Others don't give a damn, and just wanna consume Tiki as it is right now ....perhaps not realizing that it would not be there like it is today without that history.

Yes, yes, bigbro~ I know of, own, and have read both of your books. They sit upon my coffee table like others display their family Bible, and are picked up often for reference and Art inspiration. . BUT... I'm surely not the first person who has noticed how often you advertise those wonderful (2) books? Just ribbing at ya, they truly are something to be bragged about.

I'm also very interested in history and have a love of all things vintage, as the daughter of a well-known antique dealer, especially vintage tiki.

P.S... here's a (blurry) shot of me acquiring early tiki knowledge in the 1960's at Florida's Tiki Gardens~ I'm the smaller tike being held up by Dad~
P.S.S... and back to the original topic~ very interesting newspaper article, donhonyc!
