The app information doesn't specifically state that the recipes come from the Bum's books, however that's gotta be the case. My assumption is that these are a cross-compilation of several of the Bum's books. Here's the description from the iTunes store page for Total Tiki:

Beachbum Berry’s Total Tiki is the definitive reference for classic and contemporary exotic mixed drinks on your iPad or iPhone.

*This unique entertainment resource—the sequel to our five-star Beachbum Berry’s Tiki+—presents exquisite drink recipes researched and meticulously documented by the authority on Tiki cocktails and “Polynesian Pop” exotic drinks: Jeff “Beachbum” Berry. Beachbum Berry is the author of “Sippin’ Safari,” “Beachbum Berry Remixed,” “Beachbum Berry’s Taboo Table” and other books that have resurrected exotic drinks for the current day.

• Over 230 top notch drink recipes including authoritative recipes for the Zombie, Mai Tai, Painkiller, Scorpion and scores of less-known, brilliant refreshments—no bad drinks here!
• Over 200 inspiring vintage and contemporary drink photos!
• NEW! More than seventy new recipes added since Tiki+
• NEW! Check off the ingredients you’ve got, and Total Tiki will show you what you can make!
• NEW! Filter the recipes on multiple criteria with just a few taps
• Track favorite and flagged recipes
• Ingredient definitions included
• Universal app, works nearly identically on both platforms
• Dazzle your friends at your next party *

So here are three reasons you may want the app:

1. The recipes are so dang portable, in your phone. If you're at a friend's house, or at a bar, you can pull up the correct recipe on the spot and go from there.
2. The cost is only $10. Most of us spend many times more than that on cocktail books, bar tabs, hangover remedies, and coffee during the year.
3. The quality of the material is superb.

So there you have it - portability and low cost and quality. It's a pretty good and hard-to-resist deal.
