Our author, a Hawaii native, hits all the highlights, from Pearl Harbor to Diamong Head and beyond.

You'll also get up-to-the-minute coverage of shopping and nightlife; an in-depth look at historic Waikiki; detailed walking tours; accurate neighborhood maps; advice on planning a successful vacation; tours of the North Shore and Southern Oahu and the Windward Coast; and a run-down of the island's best camping, hiking, and beaches.
Small, full-color "list" books like this one are great for a quick starting point about lodging and attractions in your destination. While they don't elaborate on much, they will certainly jump start your curiosity and give you a great place to start researching more info. This is very similar to the Eyewitness books but actually a bit better with a little more info on each locale suggested/highlighted.
