Description

Designed in museum catalogue format, the book functions as a general introduction and guide to petroglyph sites throughout the Hawaiian islands. Because of its interesting subject matter and rich, graphic quality of the illustrations, the book easily designed itself once a system was established.

Special Features: Paperback with glued wraparound jacket. Photographs are printed as gray and black duotones.
