If a picture is worth 1,000 words, then this pictorial history is worth hundreds of thousands of words.

This leather-bound coffee-table-quality book is an illustrated chronicle of the history of Kaua'i, Hawaii's unique "separate kingdom" from the time of polynesian discovery and settlement to the threshold of the 21st century. Kauai's story is told with over 200 historical photographs and illustrations, many never published before, and contemporary photographs that capture the glory of Kaua'i today, all interwoven with a comprehensive historical narrative of Kauai's people, places, major events, business development, and natural beauty by one of the island's leading authors and photographers.

If you love Kaua'i, you'll love this book. If you know someone who loves Kaua'i, this book is a wonderful gift to give and to receive. It's a great keepsake for anyone who has visited Kaua'i (or might) to remind them of the wonder and history of this piece of paradise.

Available in leather-bound edition only (shipping included).
