The Definitive Hawai'ian Grammar
This is the definitive Hawai'ian grammar. It's a bit technical in spots, and descriptive rather than prescriptive. If you're interested in the Hawai'ian language and have some familiarity with linguistics, this is the best thing out there.

Na Mele O Hawai'i Nei: 101 Hawaiian Songs [Elbert]

I gave the first edition 5 stars, so that it would receive its proper recognition and respect; however, ...
