Nonetheless, these free publications can be useful for the coupons that advertisers put inside. As you read our books, you will notice that we are very candid in assessing businesses. We accept no payment for our reviews, we make no deals with businesses for saying nice things, and again, there are no advertisements in our book. If we gush over a certain company, it comes from personal experience with the company. If we rail against a business, it is for the same reason.
All businesses mentioned in our books are here by our choice.
None have had any input into what we say, and we have not received a single cent from any of them for their inclusion. We always approach businesses as anonymous travelers and later as guidebook writers if we need more information. This ensures that we are treated the same as you. What you get in our books is our unbiased opinion on how companies operate-nothing more, nothing less. Our books are intended to bring you independence in exploring Hawaii.
