     Before actual publication of this book, I welcome you for input for corrections, typographical and historical corrections, in the same spirit as the Hawaiian language newspapers of yesteryear, whose readers saw the medium as a means of perpetuating the culture and keeping alive an active discourse of na mea Hawai'i.  Your act of downloading the publication draft (by clicking on the buttons below) precludes the following:
        1.  The pdf download is to be used only for your personal review and not to distributed beyond the pale of your individual possesion.
        2.  Do e-mail your corrections and comments to me (no telephone phone contact, please); mahalo!
        3.  All your correspondence with me is kept confidential; e-mail addresses and communiques - all of it confidential.
        4.  From time to time I'll post a corrected draft so you can check on the project's development.
        5.  If and when the final product if published, I can inform you - and thanks ever so much for supporting the cause!
S
incerely,
Robert M. Mondoy
