Yeah...you see, Tiki Style is indeed listed on Amazon and Ebay. A used or less-than-pristine copy is fine. I just don't know if these are "original" stock or maybe leftover "Old Navy" stock...the items available on these online resellers tends to come from everywhere, and the sellers are often not experts, they just want you to buy the stuff.

Go look at "Tiki Style" on Amazon, for example, and read the customer reviews...they mostly complain that this version is the "censored" version of the BOT, and is therefore evil and to be avoided. Sounds like someone bought the book online and got the Old Navy version, because they are complaining about the lack of nudity...

In fact, I recently got a copy of "Tiki Style" in the mail and gave it away to a newly-discovered Tiki friend. I had been reading it for, oh, about a day, and was pleased as punch that it was the uncensored version..."No nudity? I don't know what those people are talking about...plenty of it in here."

So I am looking at getting another one, and after a little research (here) I have discovered that there are in fact these TWO versions of the book--one that is wholly good, and one that is wholly evil.

By the way, "Tiki Style" is cool. Not only is it a convenient thing to carry around, but, it offers you a closer look at some of the photo elements that are small in the BOT big-version. That's cool! Big and little versions are both essential items, I think.
