I have a question. How many of you out there in Tiki Cenrtal Land got into tiki because of this Book of Tiki? (I didn't use "search" but has this been posted before?)

Hey Ben!
The Book of Tiki was a primary factor in the restoration of the CTR. When we saw the pages devoted to the Resort, we quickly changed our minds to restoration vs. elimination. In boutique hotels, personality can be everything and we realized there was no reason to re-invent the wheel, seeing that The BOT had laid the ground work for our marketing angle. The PS Modern Committee (the "folks" who introduced us to Sven, now use us as a shining example of what's right with education and restoration, and it has made us "popular" in the community. All because of Sven, who should be VERY PROUD OF THIS ACCOMPLISHMENT (rmember, we thought the ceramic lights and tiki "stuff" was a bunch of crap, initially).
