The Book of Tiki - Reviews
....just a couple of days in our store and all my tiki collecting customers who have seen this book after the usual hyper-ventilating, threw their money down! "Worth it's weight in gold"... "Wow; so much neat stuff in here!..." "...this is amazing. I've been waiting a long time for something like this!..." have been the various unsolicited quotes. After all, it's the bible!Allen TikiTrader St.JamesUnited States |

"This urban anthropologist`s look at the cult of Polynesian Pop is great reading and an education for those who didn`t live through the mania in the 1950s."Miami Herald, MiamiUnited States |

"Tiki is the exotic cultural influence of Polynesian people such as the Hawaiians or Tahitians. It is a nostalgic look back to the 1940s to 1960s when Europeans and Americans began to visualize and experience Polynesia as an other-worldly place of leisure and charm. Tiki also had a great influence on architecture and interior in the mid 20th century. This book is a bible of Tiki, with rare photos and exotic illustrations."Free and Easy, TokyoJapan |

"Les éditions TASCHEN réédite un très beau livre sur la culture Tiki et ses totems emblématiques. Dans les années 40-50, l'ambiance des îles du sud Pacifique, la plage, les palmiers, les traditions locales et les vahinés inspirent de nombreux artistes de la culture pop américaine de l'époque. C'est frais et un peu naïf, mais les fondamentaux de la beach culture sont déjà là."Beach Brother, ParisFrance |

"Both a fabulous gift and an invaluable 'keeper' (this is the Mrs Beaton of the swinging Jet Set), The Book of Tiki comes highly recommended by the Kittens in underpants."kittensinunderpants.com, LondonUnited Kingdom |
