Here It Is! ~ The Book Of Tiki ~ In Hardback

Pages: 1 24 replies

This book needs no introduction here.
I don't even remember when was the last time I have seen the hardback for sale.
A family member bought me this in 2004 and thought I did not have it already, so I put it in storage and forgot I had it until now. I don't need two.
Hope it finds a good home.

Well, considering the price these go for, you certainly won't be the last...

Well, YOU did, and as I am saying with many suggestions I get: Great plan, I am all for it, but I have limited time and energy that goes to new endeavors and books. If someone comes up with a business plan and convincing offer, I will seek to get the OK from Taschen, but I cannot initiate this project.

first let me say i do not know the first thing about the world of publishing. having said that,i would think TASHEN would be knock'n on your door(BIGBRO)
to do "A little Something " along these lines.

i have my daily user,soft cover 'in the truck' copy.one daily user in the house hard cover'coffe table' copy. and one sealed in plastic wrap'virgin' behind the 'WITCO BAR'copy. ,but i would buy a couple more.

yes , Is there any way to get the publisher to reprint this book ?
Like , more copies dig ?
clearly they have sold all that they have so ...

I'll sell ya a copy of the mini "censored" version!
OLD NAVY TASCHEN combo version which is slightly different than the Taschen ICONS version because Old Navy censored a few images and they were replaced by other images.

Make me an offer or it goes on ebay.

OK, its gone, cheers!

Here is a link to the auction (so y'all don't need to head back to the first page of the thread to find it).

I just bought a pristine hard back copy in the local used book store here in Kailua-Kona.
$50!

Good find! Look what I just found, at the Trader Vic's Berlin. After all these years :) :

I tried running a search for this question - ended up here in this thread.
So here's a question that I cannot seem to find asked in any of the other threads that come up in reference to "The Book of Tiki" in the search function.
What is the ISBN # of a Hardcover First Edition?
I would enjoy a copy for my very own and want to have "the one" - you know ;}
