Well it has many elements combined to make it a variety pack if you will, recipes for food and drink (none of which are from Tiki Central)that are for doing a party, a luau or just everyday use. It will tell you a variety of ways to roast a pig. It will tell about some history of Tiki Farm in a piece done by Holden (hopefully when he has a moment to do it) I would love to add more things to it in the way of articles written by people, I would love to see Poly-Pop write a article about the Tiki Scene as he remebers it in California. Or even to get Sven to write on what his thoughts are about the growth of tiki since the publication of BOT. #2 Are the profiles a starting point? No, the book started out as a collection of recipes then it grew with the idea of not just being what you can serve at a party but how to decorate for a party, music for a party (still trying to figure out a way to include a cd of music some how with the book)the idea for the profiles was just a way to give a face to the people that are collecting tiki and love tiki. But for them to also add stories and stuff. #3 Will there be further research and writing on your part? Or will it be a series of profiles, like a yearbook? Or maybe a mixture of both with some "Highlighted TC'ers" like Benzart & others who really stand out? I am hoping to make it a kind of tiki cornicopia, that can be used in many ways, like a cookbook, or a yearbook where as you go to events and you meet others you can have them sign their page in the book (though Poly-Pop still wins with his as the coolest one yet)and I hope to write something for it also. It will cover many things and offer much. But like in Benzarts case, he filled out a certain amount and then I asked him if I could enlarge it, so in doing so I had to write a certain amount to tell a part of the story that is Benzart.
