The table of contents, and first 4 chapters of the book can be found starting here, on the iuniverse website.

I wasn't greatly impressed with the writing, but the book appears to be a self-published labor of love, so some credit is due there. There were some some good anecdotes, and some great pictures in the above pages (like this one of Don and Duke Kahanamohu) http://www.iuniverse.com/lookinside/LookInside.jsp?isbn=0595478840&page=19

Here are the chapter titles ... each chapter averages perhaps 3-4 pages of content.
