I think there is a copy of that book at the used book store on Leilani street as you head towards Hilo dump. Dunno if it is the newest version or not, though.
I have a copy of it, but don't seem to reference it all that much. Probably because most of gardening in Hawaii is trying to slow things down instead of encouraging them to grow.
There are also some nice websites which cover loads of Hawaii gardening information. One of the major ones is: http://www.ctahr.hawaii.edu/ctahr2001/
That's the Hawaii College of Tropical Agriculture and Human Resources. More information that you can soak up in a week. For tropical fruit trees, these folks have good information:
http://www.plantithawaii.com/
They also have good sales twice a year.
The Western Garden Book is handy though since you can read it without the computer.
