In 1984, Bronwyn and I wrote and produced this wonderful book Molokai an Island
in Time. It is printed in seven colors and has received awards for the beauty of
it's production. I still have copies and sell them for $100 each.
In a transitory world, Moloka'i has the feel of permanence, a sense of the present
which honors the past. The book follows a simple time-line, the years of Rikki
Cooke's personal emergence on the island of his growing up. He offers us
explorations via images and words of the reasons for his being.
In still another way the structure of the book allows us to see an island gradually
unfolding, until, towards the book's conclusion, we are intimate witnesses to a
glimpse behind the curtain, a Hawaiian island as it has never before revealed
itself.
