\"The Architecture of Charles W. Dickey provides a convenient overview of much of Hawaii\'s architectural history. Robert Jay begins his study with a concise historical survey of nineteenth-century Hawaiian architecture; Dickey\'s own career takes the story from the mid-1890s to World War II, encompassing a period of enormous change in modern architecture; the conclusion highlights the significant architectural contributions of Dickey\'s contemporaries and of firms operating today. This work will be of interest to historians of American architecture, as well as specialists in American and Hawaiian studies. It will also appeal to those interested in the history of Honolulu\'s urban development, who will find that the spirit of Dickey\'s work survives even today.\" - University Hawaii Press

Perhaps one of the most desired yet illusive books sought after by Pacific Rim collectors. It contains extensive pictorial coverage of the buildings of Hawaii and California also, some no longer in existence. Mr. Jay focuses on their designs complimenting his b/w photo presentation by an extensive text rather than flashy colorful shots.

THE ARCHITECTURE OF CHARLES W. DICKEY, truly an wonderful book would make a prize addition to a California or Hawaii collection.
