That is some great stuff. I have never seen the Women of Polynesia book (but now I need it!) but I have other books by that author. The South Pacific Dance book I actually got in a bookstore on Oahu.

It's an entire high school cafeteria...literaly thousands upon thousands of books. I have no idea where they all come. They cover all categories. The Hawaii/Pacific area is GREAT, but I suspect alot of the really COOL stuff (i.e. kitschy or primarily romanticized photography) probably goes out the first day. I went on Day one this year and got major scores. But I've always found things in the Hawaii section no matter when I went...it runs a full week and they add new stuff everyday as they can't FIT it all in the cafeteria. I don't know if it's worth planning a trip to Hawaii just for it, but you certainly could plan a trip around those dates & get into the sale on Day one...:)And ship few boxes of books back media rate..much cheaper than trying to get it in your luggage! I play mostly jazz music at the espresso bar I work part time in and I bought about 40 CDs there at $3 or less each to burn on my ipod. I usually go a few times during the week & spend, maybe 3 hours there every time. Gotta scan some things from that Women of polynesia book, but I'm thinking I might better post them under the "nudity" post.
