Book Reviews of Tiki Quest

Book Review: The most comprehensive Tiki collection I've seen
Summary: 5 Stars

I'm equally impressed with the pages and pages of other tiki collectables. Lanterns, decanters, postcards, swizzle sticks, matchbooks, dinnerware and more. There's a lot of variety here. Every time I flip through the book I find something new that I just need to have in my own collection.

If you love Hawaii and Tiki collectables, this book is a must-have for your collection.

Summary of Tiki Quest

There are those who amass only enough to outfit their home bar, there are others who are obsessed with Tiki in every form. Duke Carter is obsessed. His book catalogues the collection of vintage Tiki he has put together through years of scouring thrift stores, flea markets, and junk shops. The largest section categorizes Tiki mugs, the ceramic containers with fanciful renderings of Tiki gods that once were filled with Mai Tais and Navy Grog. Other areas of collecting are also presented: from souvenir statues made of resin and lava, postcards, matchbooks and swizzle sticks from Tiki restaurants of old, to an amazing variety of gee-gawks made into the likeness of Tikis. There are banks and bottles, lighters and lamps, even ashtrays full of aloha.

Far from a quickly outdated price guide, Tiki Quest is a vivid account and loving tribute to the joy of collecting, rendered in a colorful coffee-table book format.

Beautifully designed and lavishly illustrated with over 1000 photos filling nearly 200 pages, Tiki Quest is a must-have for Tiki enthusiasts whether they have been a collector for a long time or if they have just had their first Scorpion.
