Book Reviews of Tiki Modern
Book Review: Tiki world available for everyone
Summary: 5 Stars
Hi tiki-lovers!
I've just purchased this book and I think it's a real bible about the style. The edition, as usually Taschen does, is stunning, and the typography, page composition and presentation is simply tiki-retro (even connected with the Atomic Age aesthetic).
As some of the reviewers has mentioned, ther's a lot of Witco stuff. This aspect, although can be questioned, is essential for the european people, because we haven't had this way of decoring in our continent. It's like if you write a book about Formula 1: if you dedicate a main part to Ferrari you're talking about one of the must-to-know!
Five stars from Barcelona!!

Summary: 5 Stars
This book is absolutely AMAZING! The pictures are wonderful...colorful, big and vivid. There's pictures on EVERY PAGE...serious material here! Descriptions and the wonderful little tid-bits are executed nicely. Nothing was done as an 'afterthought'. There are even a few vintage items I was going to bid on at one time mentioned in this book...now I seriously regret it because of their rarity!!
If you're a tiki fan, new to tiki or just love art and Polynesian influenced pieces, this is a book you must buy. Pick it up..because once you do, you won't want to put it back down.

Sven Kirsten's first book was the Tiki bible, but it has now become the Old Testament -- no less essential, but now merely the precursor to an even more impressive New Testament of Tiki. "Tiki Modern" is so full of fantastic vintage imagery and wry, entertaining commentary that you could add another zero to the price tag and it would STILL be worth the money. An essential purchase!Book Review: Tiki Modern

This book is excellent. We bought two copies one to read over and over and one to save in perfect condition. The author once again (He wrote the Book of Tiki) has captured the history of Witco and tiki and presents it in an entertaining and visually apealing manner. As tiki collectors and myself a tiki artist we thank Mr. Kirsten for producing another classic for all to enjoy.Book Review: Tiki Modern
Summary: 5 Stars
I haven't seen a more engaging and easy to read book on Tiki than 'Tiki Modern'. It is full of vintage photographs that help readers integate the worlds of modern and primitive art. This book leaves you wanting more on the subject of Tiki while wondering "Where can I get a piece of Tiki to add to my home or personal art collection?"
