by Rita Arioshi This book of photographs was enough to convince us to go there. We read it before we went to Maui for the first time and used it as a travel guide of places we wanted to see while we were there. The book is the perfect example of the beautiful natural scenery and vacationing activities that Maui has to offer, without getting commercial or advertising. The pictures are beautiful descriptions themselves, and each page provides a brief explanation. The book is divided up into the main geographical areas of Maui, and it provides a bit of history of these areas. You see tropical forests, pristine beaches, sugarcane fields, modern buildings, old buildings returned to their original states, beautiful tracts of ocean, fields of flowers, and beautiful people. Some of the people are doing Hawaiian activities such as surfing, snorkeling and sailing. Others are doing tourist-like activities such as playing tennis, golf, sitting or laying on the beach or walking down the street taking in the sights. I don't know if the designers intended to create a tourist brochure, but they certainly succeeded in doing so. This is one of the most convincing arguments for visiting a place that I have ever seen. Couldn't resist reading it again after we got home! [Adapted from several Most Helpful Customer Reviews on Amazon.com]
