SAMOAN MATERIAL CULTURE--A classic

[Ian]

I recently came across a wonderful online version of an anthropological classic. The book, Samoan Material Culture, by Sir Peter Henry Buck (a.k.a. Te Rangi Hiroa) was published in 1930 by the Bishop Museum in Hawaii. It has been a rare book for many years, even though it was republished in 1971. The Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand has recently provided the online version here:

I know there are some avid collectors of Pacific clubs out there, so here are some samples just to let you know what is in this excellent book. The text is as informative as the figures.
