This is more than a gorgeous over-sized coffee table book, and it depicts far more than the standard tourist-fare scenes and sound-bites. It is a very large book with hundreds of photos that depict a myriad of true Hawaiian scenes -- far more detailed and "real" than the usual calendar shots. In addition, it includes text that provides the opportunity to actually LEARN about the Islands -- which facilitates an even deeper appreciation -- in concise and very readable style. Excellent-quality paper with a few very large fold-out photos.

I bought this book from Amazon after seeing a beat-up copy at a local book chain store. I had been looking around for a coffee table picture book of HI for my wife's parents and comparatively this is the best around. It is newer than any others that I looked at and has better aerial views in my opinion, both in variety and quality. I am quite the critic since I am fortunate enough to live here, so take my advice if you are looking for a souvenir from your vacation buy this book. You won't be disappointed!

I bought this book because of the recommendations of it on Amazon and got everything I was hoping for! This book is the best of everything a picture book should be. It is quite large (12"x16") and the pages are heavy paper with stunning photos on every page - over half are full page or both sides of the pages full. Magnificent and unique, I see many pictures here I haven't been able to find the like of online. If you want a "coffee table" book about these gorgeous islands, look no further. This hardback is worth the price and more. Great job Roger Rose, simply stunning book!
