Hawaii Books at Bonnie and Fred’s Kona Condo
January 11th, 2010 by fred
There is a small but nice collection of Hawaiiana books at the condo. Bonnie and I generally try to add to the collection every time we are there. I love books. Real books that you hold in your hand and see, touch and smell. Not the computer tablet e-books.
Often our visits include a nice trip to Hilo to see our daughter. A stop at Volcano Park art gallery is a must. The collection of Hawaiiana books at Volcano Art Gallery is just great. For example I picked up a copy of ‘The Hawaiian Calabash’. I must have gotten one of the last copies as it is now out of print.
This scholarly book talks about the history of this important object for early Hawaiin culture. The calabash (a gourd) was useful for storage of foods and liquids. It also was made into the instrument used for chants called the Ipu. Amazingly native calabashes became extinct and now gourds for Hawaiians come from California. Enjoy the Calabash book and many others at Bonnie and Fred’s condo - Kona Coast Resort Unit # 7-106
