This review is from: Guide to Old Kona (Paperback)

Limited information and only very few pictures. A bit fragmented and incohesive more like an assembly of individual points of interest. But probably also one of the few books on old Kona out there, so not too much chocie if you are interested. My suggestion: buy a cheap used copy!
