Peter Thomas is the President of the Ukulele Club of Santa Cruz, which is the greatest monthly celebration of the ukulele on the planet. People are constantly asking me what the UCSC is all about. It is a long drive for me but well worth it for the comraderie and ukulele socializing. Plus I have to see Mad Dog's (aka Bob Rainey) latest ukulele acquisition.
But back to the point, Peter and Donna are also artistic bookmakers with flair and imagination. They make beautiful books including book in ukuleles and books on ukuleles. You can see some of their ukulele/book art at these links.
