Hey all! Thanks for the very kind words. The book really was a labor of love for Carrie and I.

Also, a bit more about the book: Short of running the printing presses, Carrie and I, with help from a very small team did everything ourselves over a very short period - Nov. 2018 to April of 2019.

So far, sales have been really great. Besides our own site, a few bars and other sites are purchasing entire cases to resell. we love this!

Our initial print run was 1500 copies, which cost us over five figures to do. It was a big financial risk! However, looking at our sales, we decided last week to double down and order another 1500 copies. It's another huge risk, but we believe the Tiki community is good-hearted and wants to suppport grass-roots efforts like ours.

As such, every reference to the book, every share, everybody you tell about it helps us out. We don't have a big publisher or a big PR firm promoting it. We're counting on very large and friendly Tiki community to help spread the word.

Cheers, and Mahalo!

Matt & Carrie
