There are directions and other info for finding and visiting lighthouses. They do not always show all lights for a given area. The photos are all color. I own 3 of these books. There are not many other guide books out there so if you are looking for guide books these are good to have. Since there are so many books in this series I thought I'd help people find them easier. This is the series.

Bruce Roberts may be the best lighthouse photographer working in America. Any of the books by him and his partner Ray Jones are well worth owning. They include great lighthouse photos, a little story from Jones about each one and directions as to how to get to them. The lighthouse lover could scarcely ask for more.

The photgraphy is beautiful and the stories well written and informative. Directions to lighthouses are pretty good. I was disappointed that every light was not included. They actually only cover selected lighthouses. I have since found a real good book that covers all lighthouses in the eastern Great Lakes.

I have found this book very helpful in locating lighthouses in my backyard that I never knew existed. I have long been a fan of lighthouses, and this book has intensified my search to see as many of the lighthouses around my area as I can. I also like the fact the directions are given to make finding each lighthouse easier to find---with these directions, I should be able to find a lot more lighthouses in my own area, and not have to go traveling great distances to see one. Thanks for publishing such a great book!!!!!!!!!!!

Quality of photos was very poor. I want to see details of the various lighthouse not photos of the sky, trees or water. Photos of dark shaded lighthouse against a dark background on a very clouded day does not make for good photography. I have seen better pictures on the internet.

Filled with information for the curious and the knowledgeable. Entices one to travel and discover!

The book I received was VERY used!!!! It took 10 days for them to even start to ship it out. I missed the birthday I intended the book for--. It took over two weeks for me to receive the book.
