What a great book to curl up with and explore! It's like a virtual vacation. I'm ready to call my travel agent.

This reference of Virginia's lighthouses will be indispensable anyone wanting to locate, study or identify lighthouses. It's concise format makes it possible to carry or store while traveling or keep within reach on boats,cars or aircraft. This colorful book will probably become a valuable rare collectors item, since it freezes in time a valuable set of pictures of both the interior and exterior of all the lighthouses in Virginia at publication. As I am retired U.S.Navy I have an acute interest and respect for historic documents related to maritime history.

I would like to commend Mr. Zaccaria on a wonderful job of showing us, up close, the beautiful lighthouses of Virginia. In the last few years, I have become an avid lighthouse fan. I have been able to see several of the lighthouses mentioned in the book, and I find them just as beautiful and interesting as the book describes.I recommend this book to anyone interested in lighthouses.

This book is a must for all lighthouse enthusiasts! It is an enjoyable book to read, and very informative. I recently took it on a "lighthouse hunt" while on vacation, and found the directions to be very accurate and helpful. If you have not already done so, you must make this a part of your lighthouse library!

Mr.Zaccaria presented the finest details of the Virginia Lighthouses. Even after spending four years maintaining some of the lighthouses listed, I learned a great deal about them after reading this book. Truely an amazing display of history.

The book recaptures some of my experiences, especially Wolf Trap and the days of restoration working side by side with the Coast Guard. I now have a true keepsake to accompany my happy memories. I am with the C.G.Auxiliary and work with ANT Milford Haven and ANT Kennebec.

Everyone should put this book in their personal library!! The work that went into this text shows with every page. The pictures make you feel as if you are there. What an educational and learning experience!! It makes me want to go see a lighthouse -up close and personal!

Mr. Zaccaria and his photographers have done an fantastic job of capturing the lights of the Old Dominion on paper.
I have spent the last few years reading about lighthouses and I consider this book a great addition to my library!

The pictures are fantastic!
If you've ever wondered what these structures looked like on the inside, "Lighthouses of Virginia" has you covered -- great pics of the interiors!
I don't gush about books, but this one's a keeper!
