This is a rare find!  It is a first edition of "Hawaii: A Pictorial History", published by the Bishop Museum Press.  That would make it unique and valuable if we stopped right there but there's more. It was signed on May 6, 1969 by Joseph Ferer, a famous Hawaii artist, who compiled and designed the book.

Joseph Feher grew up in Budapest, Hungary. Throughout his life, he took great interest in all cultures and traditions, especially the Hawaiian culture. He was a former senior curator of the Honolulu Academy of Arts. His sketched interpretations of the "Kumulipo: Hawaiian Hymn of Creation" were shown at Honolulu's Queen Emma Gallery in 1987, shortly before Feher's death at age 79. The series depicts 22 images from the Hawaiian story of creation, and genealogy of the Hawaiian people. Aside from his fine art, he was an accomplished magazine, and book illustrator, a wood carver, and calligrapher. 

This book is an amazing encyclopedia of Hawaiian history and culture. The inside is in excellent condition. The cover is a little soiled in places.
