Alexander Hume Ford launched this as the official organ of the "Hands-Around-the-Pacific Club" (renamed Pan-Pacific Union in 1912) which he co-founded with Jack London to promote regional interests. They hosted gatherings for leading figures at the Outrigger Canoe Club in Hawaii, which Ford had founded in 1908 to revive and preserve surfing on boards and in outrigger canoes. Ford wrote more than at first appears, confessing to London that he used assumed names whilst begging, stealing or borrowing the rest. He encouraged his local business backers to submit factual content for the Encyclopedia and Guide instead of offering them display ads. The content is very rich on Hawaiian and wider Pacific culture, history, and geography, with additional regular features on Pacific personalities (profiling Club members and others), poetry and literature. ISSUE 1 contains Ford's progress report, and articles on Hawaiian industry, Hawaiian legends, Chinese New Year in the Tropics, Tasmania, American carnivals in the Pacific, Japan's move for Pacific peace, Honolulu as an Agricultural Scientific Center by Ralph Hosmer, Canadian Rockies, home life in the South Seas.
