Good news, all you Hawaii nuts (like me), the Doughty-Friedman book on Maui, "Maui Revealed," will be in your bookstores August 1 for $14.95. You can order it from wizardpub.com, but the site says it will be faster to just buy from your bookstore. They're the same couple who did the extraordinary book on Kauai and the Big Island. Thought you'd like to know! (No, I'm not related to the authors - I swear!)

I guess the best things are worth waiting for. Their Kauai book was the best travel guide I have ever used so I will be very interested to read what they have to say about Maui.

Thanks for the info, what is the name of the Kauai book as well as the author?

Marie,

It's called "The Ultimate Kauai Guidebook" by Andrew Doughty and Harriet Friedman. The other one they've published is "The Big Island Revealed." They're simply the best travel guides I've ever read, and I believe I have almost every guide in print on Hawaii. And they're fun-reading, as well as being informative. Reading a book like theirs can make a huge difference in your trip-planning!

Whoops! That should have read "Hawaii: The Big Island Revealed."
Also, should have read "Ultimate Kauai Guidebook." Sorry!

Thanks Lani, your advice is always very informative.
