First edition of California Tiki is a thousand copies or less. If 500 copies sell, HP makes a profit. If a thousand sell, they go back to the press and put out another thousand. Most of their authors are local historians and enthusiasts, so while their editors go through the book and question anything that stands out as an odd claim, it's not like the material is peer-reviewed by a panel of experts for accuracy. As others have said, that falls to thoughtful reviews online, be it via Amazon, Goodreads or elsewhere.
