About the Author
Jeremy D'Entremont is a noted lighthouse historian having produced a lighthouse video, lighthouse CD rom, provided the historical information for the Lighthouse Depot web site and he is a writer for Lighthouse Digest Magazine. He is also on the board of the American Lighthouse Foundation, a non profit group dedicated to saving lighthouses and their history.
Ken Kochel is a retired United States Army Colonel who has always had an interest in maritime history. When he found it difficult to find many lighthouses on his travells, he decided someone needed to write a travelers guide to lighthouses on the east coast. After the first three editions sold so well, he realized that he was no longer able to keep up with the strenuous work it would take to update a fourth edition. He sold the rights to the book to Lighthouse Digest Magazine and with their help and the work of researcher Jeremy D'Entremont an updated 4th edition was published.

5.0 out of 5 stars
A wonderful guide.,
By Sandra Shanklin (Fort Walton Bch FL USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: America's Atlantic Coast Lighthouses (Paperback)
This book is well done, and anyone who seekds out Atlantic Coast lighthouses needs one. I only wish Ken Kochel and Jeremy D'Entremont had a book for every Coastal area in the U.S. We have used earlier versions to help us seek out lighthouses in our quest to photograph every lighthouse in the United States.

Where's the map?,

This review is from: America's Atlantic Coast Lighthouses (Paperback)
The information on each lighthouse is very thorough, however my biggest frustration with this book is that there is no map or any type of quick visual guide for the location of the lighthouses. Although it was an interesting book to read, it was almost completely useless as a reference when I was actually on a trip to see the lighthouses. I will chose a more user-friendly type guide for my next trip.
