content: This reproduction is an insult to the careful scholarship of Lorrin Andrews, a superb researcher of Hawaiian language. When I read this version, it seems that a lot of the Hawaiian didn't scan in properly and it is just nonsense. Apparently no one took the time to check the scanned in version against the original. You won't learn much from this book, there's too many "typographical" errors introduced by the reproduction. Don't waste your money. Go to the library and read the original. It is excellent.
