Even though this is thick and heavy, it was not as cumbersome as I thought it would be. The index is excellent. I read it in my room everyday before taking off for hither and yon. I visited Oahu and Maui and especially enjoyed my days in Honolulu because of all the history and beautiful Iolani Palace grounds.

We just got back fron a two week trip to the Hawaiian Islands. We visited three islands, Kau'ai, Oahu, and Hawai'i. The book proved to be a valuable tool to have during our visit. I'm not sure that I always agreed with the author's opinion on some things, but overall most of his tips were good ones. I paid $11 for the book and considering the cost of the trip, having this book or one like it is very worthwhile.

The only thing it is missing is a Don't Miss section. I would have preferred if he did some kind of rating for what he liked. But excellent otherwise

Obviously includes all the "A" list sites but everything else.
If you get bored, don't blame this book.

This book is an excellent guide to all of Hawaii. From the great maps to the history, people, government, arts and music, and even the language. This is not your usual travel guide - it has so much info in it going above and beyond any other travel guide to the Islands.
It is a thick book to take with you, but well worth it. You will not be disappointed.
