Books on vintage aloha wear

[Vicky`sVintage]

Hi all members!

I would like to order a book about vintage aloha wear, and I found a few books online which seem to be interesting for me, but it is a bit hard to decide. I am collecting vintage Hawaiian clothing articles (1940s to 1960s) , mainly dresses. I am not a seller, but would like to learn more about them, the history of the makers, the designs and prints.
Which book would you recommend as a starter and why?
Thanks!

Vic

I don't own this, but I am acquainted with the woman who wrote it. Maybe someone else has read it here:
