I wasn't sure if I should post this under "Collecting Tiki" but let me try here first...

I found one of the early issues of Tiki News in a used bookstore and I want more !! Not so much as collectibles but to read the content. It's fascinating to see what was going on in the Tiki community before things "blew up" post-BOT. It's almost like they're Tiki Revival historical documents.

As far as I can tell, there is no way to purchase back issues from http://www.tikinews.com.

If anyone in So CA has most, if not all, of Tiki News #1-#17. I'd pay to borrow your collection for a month. I want to scan it into PDF format for my own reading. Based on its size and the way it was laid out, this should be a straight-forward task.

If Otto never intends to republish the back issues in any format, I'd be willing to share my efforts with anyone that can make it out to Tonga Hut or Don's some time.
