Maui: Images of the Valley Island

If you've traveled the island of Maui at all, this picture book has the type of photographs you wish you had taken, plus plenty of aerial shots of places you've probably been. At only 8.25" wide and 6.75" tall, it's a relatively small book that doesn't take up a lot of room - which I like. And, considering that most of the pictures are either 5x7 or panoramic views (4" x 14.75") that take up two pages, I think it's a very well-designed book that provides a lot of value. The picture selection is very diverse, and contrary to another review here, I don't think it has too many volcano pictures. Only 4 of the 43 images are about Haleakala, and even of those four the subject matter and image framing is diverse. For anyone who's been to the island, flipping through the pages is like a trip down memory lane. In fact, with just about every picture you'll probably find yourself saying "I remember seeing that." Considering the very inexpensive price, there's a lot of value here. It's just a great little book with a wide variety of well-selected images. You will first find yourself reliving the feelings and emotions you had when you were there, and then you will probably be looking at your calendar saying, "when can I go there again?"

I bought this book to give my five year old an over veiw of what to expect when we go to Hawaii. Great photographs. modest price. It is a small book, so don't expect a great big coffee table book. It could have had less volcano pictures
