Got my guide on Saturday. Mint condition for a 51 year old publication. So glad you found the forum and a place where your father's work could not be more appreciated. |

Many recipes in the booklet call for Siegert's Bouquet Rum, which hasn't been around for decades. What's everyone subbing for that? A quick search of the Internets finds Siegert's was an Angostura product, and a suggested sub is Angostura Royal Oak (I don't have that or any other Ango rum). |

That sucks! You are doing something great for all of us, hopefully that anti-aloha "member" will do the right thing and retract that negative. Only takes one bad ingredient to spoil a Mai Tai! Negative feedback is bound to happen. I feel like any day now someone will leave me negative feedback, even though I am a top rated seller with the highest ratings. I like to have a couple ebay accounts so that when someone screws me over with a negative, I can just use my other account for a year and that negative drops off and you are back to 100% ratings. Thanks again, the book is amazing and I don't think I would have caught it on ebay. |

Royal Oak isn't available here but I plan to instead use the higher quality and readily available Angostura 1919 after reading a review of the Royal Oak that stated "Best save for the 1919 version". http://thelonecaner.com/angostura-royal-oak-select-trinidad-rum-review/ |

Sent my paypal Sunday and the book arrived yesterday! I'll admit, even though I probably drink nearly 10 tiki cocktails a week, I don't know too many of the exact recipes. However, IMHO, many of these drinks are different than the versions most of us know (especially the jet pilot), making it an awesome find! |

I've been working with Beau to create an ePub version of the book. It's about ready at this point, but I've got chronic back problems and I haven't been able to sit at my computer for more than a few minutes at a time the past week or so. As soon as it's released (hopefully very soon), we'll let everyone know! |

Cool. Nice of you and Beau to have done this. Looks like it's only available on Apple devices, though. Fortunatly, I purchased the book from Beau earlier...I was going to download it out of curiosities sake and take a look. I don't have any plans to purchase any Apple devices in the foreseeable future. Any plans on releasing it in any other format like Kindle or a .pdf file? howlinowl |

Cool. One of the things I've never cared for Apple is they seem to be very proprietary. It works with Apple or not at all. Amazon has apps so that their books can be read on other devices (Android, Windows) so you aren't forced to purchase a Kindle device just to read your books. You are in very good company, though. I've been lusting after Jeff "Beachbum" Berry's Tiki+ and now Total Tiki apps forever! iOS devices only, though so I guess I'm stuck with the books. howlinowl |

TikiTacky my Friend, You are so Awesome for all the work and time you and some of your friends devoted to this project. It is truly a work of art. I appreciate it more than I can express. What an outstanding tribute to my Dad! Thank you so much. Those that download the book will see YOUR CONTRIBUTION and the others that contributed. Those of you that do download via Apple, remember the 5 Star Rule ***** The "RULE is that you have to give it 5 Stars! :) Ron "Beau" Turnbow [ Edited by: Big Bad Beau 2014-10-23 11:58 ] |

I went ahead and installed i-tunes and downloaded the book even though it won't let me open it on the computer. Even though I don't own any apple devices and don't forsee getting any in the near future, years from now they may come up with some 'I-Gizmo" that I just gotta have and then I'll have the book. Never know if it won't be available on i-tunes in the future. Like I said before, I had purchased the original printing from Beau and am very happy with it. I hope my earlier post didn't seem ungrateful for the time and effort put in by others to create the ebook and provide it for free. I don't know anything about epublishing. There may have been circumstances that made publication on a different format difficult or impossible. This project was taken on with the "aloha" spirit. Beau could have very well created the ebook and provided it for sale on i-tunes or kindle and probably made some extra spending money, instead he provided it without charge. I'm sure is father is smiling in heaven. howlinowl (who still purchases CDs and rips MP3s with 10 year old freeware) |

It is possible to download this through iTunes and convert it to a PDF to read on an Android device, it's what I did. I won't distribute it as it isn't mine to give away. I downloaded it from iTunes and then found a program to convert it from epub to PDF format. |
