O Tahiti - Collecting Tiki

ST Swamp Tiki Member The Shadowy Moss Draped South Joined: Feb 08, 2006 Posts: 158	ST Swamp Tiki Posted posted on Thu, Mar 23, 2006 7:08 AM I stumbled across this book of phtographs and text the other day and thought that it might be a nice addition to the ole' reference library. It was written by Bob Putigny and J. Tirmont and published in Paris in 1962. The interesting thing is that it was compiled with multi-lingual text (French, German, English, etc.). The photos are excellent and are of National Geographic quality. I will try and scan a few pictures and post them at a later date. I thought that this info might warrant a few searches on Amazon.com or abe.com for some of you.

Yep, the Tiki sculptor one is going to be in my new book. Virani had a thread on old Tahiti photo books for tourists somewhere here, I have three from that genre.
