I read this like "small kid time" and I borrowed it again just for nostalgia. Today, after a quarter of a century, sadly, a lot of this is just gone. That Hawaii is dead. We have been "haolefied". Enough of it is still relevant enough so that when a visitor comes in, this will be a fun read.

So this book is pretty old--I think the "newest" facts it offers are from the early 80's--but it was still a cool read. It offers some great beginning Pidgin, but most of the facts do focus on the island of Oahu. Plus I got it at a used book store, TinCan Man, for like $6! Can't beat that!
