5.0 out of 5 stars
An authoritative book which should fascinate Keys visitors.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Lighthouses of the Florida Keys (Hardcover)
The Florida Keys is not just a wacky destination for tourists in love with the escapist concept of Margaritaville! Love Dean's book gives us the real Keys - an authentic, unique, fragile place with a history. Tired of Disneyesque Florida? Dive into this book.

EXCELLENT COVERAGE OF THEIR HISTORY,
By A Customer
This review is from: Lighthouses of the Florida Keys: A Short History and Guide (Paperback)
This book illustrates and narrates the fascinating history of the lighthouses of the Florida Keys. It should be of interest to divers and mariners and all others who see these wonderfully evocative landmarks.
