Query: Thorough Look at a Remote Archipelago

This book combines history with anthropology in describing centuries of trade in the East Seram region, which centres on the Seram Laut and Gorom archipelagos.These islands formed a major regional trade centre between western Indonesia and western New Guinea. However, as they grew no spices they did not become an important Dutch colonial post (unlike the Bandas, Ternate, Tidore and Ambon), thus preserving their trading traditions more intact.It is extremely thoroughly written by one of the major experts on Maluku. The only reason I gave it only 4 stars is that the topic may be of limited interest to the wider public.
