It is a book of photographs. Sylvain went to Tahiti in 1946 and never left. He documented island life very well. There is not a whole lot of text, just a litle by the artist's wife telling a bit about him. I don't remember too many tikis but there is a lot of beautiful girls. Oh yeah, great book. Beautiful black and white photos, mostly of beautiful vahines. Many postcards featuring topless Polynesian ladies are copied from Sylvain's photos, as well as a few black velvet paintings (such as those sold by Trailer Taste). I've been thinking about getting a second copy to cut up for framing the pics. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/3822860530/qid=1081289952/sr=8-1/ref=sr_8_xs_ap_i1_xgl14/103-7383448-8301422?v=glance&s=books&n=507846
