When by the middle to late 2000s the effect of the Book of Tiki was whaning (and it was running out of print), the burgeoning craft cocktail revival (which was in part INSPIRED by Jeff Berry's work) fully embraced Tiki through Jeff's work and gave the Tiki Revival a second wind that carried it into the 2010s. So much so that some folks think that Tiki culture is all about cocktails nowadays, and don't know the Book of Tiki. :D
