5.0 out of 5 stars
Highly recommended reading for all lighthouse enthusiasts!,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bansemer's Book of Carolina and Georgia Lighthouses (Hardcover)
Bansemer's Book Of Carolina And Georgia Lighthouse showcases the great lighthouses that served the maritime trade for generations along the Carolina and Georgia coastlines. Roger Bansemer's informative text is superbly enhanced by his wonderful paintings. Most of these grand structures are no longer in service, having been rendered obsolete by advances in maritime and communications technologies. But their legacy lives on as proud relics of a maritime history that continues to hold a fascination for each new generation. Superbly produced and presented, Bansemer's Book Of Carolina And Georgia Lighthouse is a very highly recommended addition to any light house enthusiast's collection.

Carolina and Georgia Lighthouses,
By The Smiths (Florida) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bansemer's Book of Carolina and Georgia Lighthouses (Hardcover)
We bought Roger's Book for FL lighthouses and used it as the basis for a tour of all of FL's lighthouses and now we plan the same with this book. His pictures are so nice and his easy, friendly and informative writing style is enjoyable. We really enjoy the insight he adds to the history of each lighthouse. We are looking forward to our next trip with this book as our guide.

This review is from: Bansemer's Book of Carolina and Georgia Lighthouses (Hardcover)
This book not only contains excellent information on lighthouses, it is beautifully presented with great sketches and pictures. The pictures alone are worth the price of the book. Roger Bansemer has done an outstanding job in putting together this book.
