BOB KRAUSS' TRAVEL GUIDE TO THE HAWAIIAN ISLANDS

The author of Here's Hawaii and top columnist for The Honolulu Advertiser provides an attractively relaxed vademecum to the Hawaiian Islands. The pitch here is the complete coverage, not only of Hawaii, but of Oahu, Kauai, Maui, Molokai and Lanai. The needed information on hotels, food, fun and frolic, the beaches, shopping, festivals and folklore, culture, sports are all here -- with a nod to expensive, moderate or inexpensive price-tags on accommodations and eateries and night spots. The bulk of the book is given over to a tour of the islands, with day-by-day recitals of sights and spectacles natural or native so that the tourist can either go with guide or go it alone. A handy for the week-long or week-longer tourist.
