[Preorder] Ninety Years of Classic San Diego Tiki, 2nd Edition

90 Years of Classic San Diego Tiki, 1928-2018: Celebrating San Diego's Polynesian Pop Culture, Tiki Restaurants, Bars and Cuisine, by Martin S. Lindsay. Expanded Second Edition. Full-color hardcover, 288 pages, profusely illustrated.

The opening of the Hawaiian Village at the 1915 Panama-California Exposition in San Diego introduced Pacific Islander culture, cuisine, dance, and music to enthusiastic mainland audiences. Influenced by Tijuana during Prohibition, Hollywood studios, and its hosting of the U.S. Navy's Pacific Fleet during WWII, San Diego became an incubator for the nation's obsession with all things exotic, Polynesian ... and Tiki. 

Expanded Second Edition details nearly one hundred nautical, island, Tiki and American-Chinese bars and restaurants — sharing stories and recipes from the people who made them — with hundreds of vintage photos, ephemera and graphic art, many never-before published.
