Pocket Guide to Hawaii's Underwater Paradise

These are souvenir picture books. The photos and text are the same in each but the size, layout, and price differ. Of the two, the small "Pocket Guide" is the most popular. Despite the title, it is not a true guidebook—neither it nor the larger edition attempts to show every fish you see while snorkeling or diving. Still, these are good little books with plenty of solid information about marine life, and lots of pretty pictures.

Purchase info: Outside Hawaii you can order these from Barnes & Noble, or Amazon
