You have seen his work on postcards and in the calendars. He also designed the table lamps and furniture in the Mai-Kai. The book you have was written by Leonce and Kay Picot, illustrated by Kocab. Leonce was the marketing person/assistant manager at the Mai-Kai for 10 years from 1957 to 1967. He went on to open many high end restaurants around the country and wrote and edited many books on food. Come see my symposium at Oasis for more on Leonce and how he left his mark on Tiki culture!
