Unfortunately, the nice padded cover will be replaced by a soft cover, but the quality of the pages will remain the same. I found out about this too late myself to stockpile issues of the hardcover, so sorry for the late notice. While I am not thrilled about this, it is the way of things in the publishing world, and in no way could anybody else have put out such a book for such a price and thus facilitated Tiki's re-entry into pop culture the way I had always envisioned. Taschen already had a thin profit margin. and with the extreme Euro-to-Dollar rate shift I am sure they have to struggle more to make some. I got a copy, it looks a little smaller but is exactly the same, and leafing through it actually seems easier. So now your hardcover is a collectors item.

I got a copy on ebay and I have been reading it on the slow nights when I'm hacking my cab here in Key West. It has been enlightening and has given me a lot of ideas for things I would like to collect and have made up by the local artisans during my trip to the Philippines and Bali this summer. :)

About 99% of hardcover books seem to get 'remaindered'(vastly reduced in price months after publication) these days so you did extremely well to have a second printing!! I keep seeing the little 'junior' version advertised on Amazon.co.uk. Will that be on the shelves soon? Trader Woody
