Wow, that has lots AND LOTS of stuff I've never seen before!

I am REALLY glad that you like it! You've been collecting a long time and have seen plenty of things. I wanted the book to POP with NEW (and or Rarely seen) IMAGES. I remember being VERY nervous when other books about Waikiki or Tiki were released.

I think my favorite thing in there that's new to me is the model of the Waikikian lobby structure.

How amazing is it to see that? It's one of my favorites images from Waikiki Tiki: Art, History and Photographs, too. I remember the first time I saw it in the archives at the offices of Wimberly, Allison, Tong, & Goo. Breathtaking! I also am very proud of finding Brownlee's first commission for Canlis in

Thanks for assembling all these materials - the book is deceptively voluminous, and seems to grow as you flip through it!

Mahalo! Awesome feedback Randy.
