From the Skies of Paradise: Kauai

Summary: Wonderful memories
Review: I really enjoyed seeing the towns, instead of all the usual scenic things, like those unavailable westside beaches. I had spent 6 weeks over there after hurricane Iniki working and had driven to so many areas that it was nice to see where I had driven from the air. I liked seeing where roads went from a new perspective and the towns like Kapaa where I lived near, and Wailua, etc.

Summary: Absolutely gorgous photos
Review: If you want a large format photo book of Kauai--nearly all photos taken from the air--this is beautiful. I look at it again and again. Highest quality.

Summary: Magnificient Color, Panoramic, Comprehensive Island Views
Review: My wife and I have been to Kauai several times and have not, until now, been able to fully relate to friends on the Mainland the awesome, magical sensation that is Kauai. This collection of embracing color photographic art does just that and even more. Absolutely phenominal color photography. Panoramic, comprehensive and select Island views that truly capture the magnificient beauty that is uniquely Kauai; unspoiled, tropical island paradise. If you've been there, this book will vicariously return you; If you haven't been there, well, this is the second best place to experience "da kine" Garden Isle. Aloha!

Summary: Poor quality
Review: There are some breath-taking views in this book. However, most of the photos are ruined by absolutely horrible color processing and production. I'm assuming most of the washed out, brownish tints come from a shoddy production process, but who knows. I was very, very disappointed that most every picture was ruined by such poor color reproduction. Find another book on the island.
