New book about Oceanic war clubs

THE INFORMATION ON WHERE TO ORDER A COPY DOES COMPLECATE THINGS AND I SUPPOSE THAT LINK DOES BELONG IN THE SWAP FORUM. BUT I DON'T THINK THIS IS AN ATTEMPT TO SELL THE BOOK BUT JUST TO BE HELPFUL.
I DO VALUE THE OPINION OF ALL MEMBERS OF THE FORUM IN THEIR VARIOUS FIELDS OF INTEREST. I ALSO VALUE THE OPINION OF A MEMBER WHO HAS ACTUALLY DONE THE RESEARCH AND HAS THE KNOWLEGE TO WRITE A VALUABLE REFERENCE BOOK ON ANY NEW BOOK.
I MYSELF DID A SORT OF BOOK REVIEW WARNING AGAINST A VERY BAD BOOK, NOT THAT I AM AN EXPERT BUT I WANTED TO WARN ANYONE AGAINST BUYING THE BOOK AND BEING DISSAPOINTED AND OUT THE CASH LIKE ME.

PERHAPS THE LINK COULD BE PUT IN THE SWAP FORUM WITH A NOTE IN THE FORUM DISCUSSION TELLING WHERE TO FIND IT FOR THOSE WHO ARE INTERESTED. I DO HOPE THIS DOES NOT KEEP ANYONE FROM POSTING REVIEWS AND RECOMENDATIONS FOR OR AGAINST ANY NEW OR OLD REFRENCE BOOKS HERE IN FUTURE.

I AM GLAD WHEN A REFRENCE IS DONE BY A MUSEUM OR OTHER ORGANIZATION ON THINGS WHICH HAVE BEEN IN STORAGE AND LOST FOR MANY YEARS AS THEY WILL LIKELY REMAIN IN STORAGE FOREVER AND NEVER BE PUT ON EXHIBIT. ONE OF THE FEW PLACES WHERE ETHINOGRAPHIC OBJECTS WITH PROVENANCE INTACT IS IN OLD MUSEUM COLLECTIONS SO IT IS IMPORTANT TO HAVE THE REFRENCES TO HELP GET AN IDEA OF ALL THE ITEMS WITH NO PROVENANCE WHICH FORM THE MAJORITY OF OUR COLLECTIONS.

I HAVE BOUGHT BOOKS FROM THIS COMPANY BEFORE AND FOUND THEM TO BE RELIABLE AND HONEST AND THEY DO HAVE A WIDE RANGE OF BOOKS AVAILABLE.
