At first glance I'm really happy with the way it's turned out. Kudos to Yak, Korero's art director, for doing such a great job on the lay-out...Yak and I spent many hours over several weeks poring thru countless photos of mugs to make sure we got the best images possible in the book. The sad thing is that we had so many great images & mugs to chose from, that, inevitably, we couldn't fit them all into one book...but maybe if this one does well we can start on Volume 2 :0). Glad you were happy finding the Captain in the book, atomictonytiki, and I agree with you about the Spanish section...it would have been nice to get a couple of Arte 4 examples in there but it was a question of time and availability......maybe if Korero decide to do a second volume (hint, hint). Yes, having a London Beachcomber Bar Tiki Mug in the book would have been awesome as that was my first introduction to Tiki back in the early 1980s...at the time though I was more concerned with the rum then the mugs and I haven't found anyone since then who actually has one. Even the former head barman of the place didn't know where to find one, so the search continues. Anyway, I'll try to get more images from the book to post on this thread...so stay tuned. Jay.
