I think it will be difficult to find many paperbacks with actual Tikis on them. But if we would agree on "Tiki-related" covers, we could put a nice thread together:

Depictions of primitive art are not something uncommon in European paperback covers. That’s why I thought that there would be plentiful of Tiki imagery in its U.S. counterparts.

Maybe because of its usually subdued depiction of sex and violence by censorship requirements, the artists turned to primitive art for shocking value.
