I actually expected a booklet. All you get is a single piece of paper folded like a map. The descriptions are OK, and it does point out locations accurately. But, I really expected more.

In June of 2000 I used this map to visit Lighthouses in Maine. This map was very useful. On one side is a map pointing out the locations. On the other side there are details for each individual light such as: directions, hours, and phone numbers. I am from Michigan so I was not familiar with New England at all. Some of these lights were hard to find even with the map because some roads are not clearly marked. But I did find everything I was looking for. The price of these maps is an incredible bargain. Some people buy two of them so they can hang one on the wall to display the watercolor images and get another to use.

With the purchase of this map, we've located successfully every lighthouse on land and a few from the water. This is our third copy as we've worn out our previous two copies. Can't wait to go and explore again! Great value, low cost, loads of memories!

This is an excellent map to use if you want to see the lighthouses of Maine! Good information, some great watercolor renderings of many of them. I didn't realize there were so many there to see! This combined with a Maine guidebook (some lighthouses are not accessible by land) would be a great addition to any trip.

This guide is a concise and fairly informative pamphlet for those travelling along the Maine coast. It is very inexpensive, and does not take up much space, but covers all the lighthouses one might run into along the coast.

This guide will surely come in handy, but as someone has already stated, real lighthouse pictures would have been better than illustrations.
Still, I wish I had had(?) one of these for directions to lighthouses in other trips we've made to New England. So many are really hard to find...especially for tourists!
It was "as advertised."
Thanks.

My wife and I just returned from a trip to Maine. We found the info in this guide to be very helpful in finding 21 lighthouses, most of which were well hidden. Without this map/guide, we would not have found most of them since they are usually not well sign posted.

the book made it very easy to find where the lighthouses are located. nice article about each one.

The map and information provided are quite good, but the illustrations are disappointing, I would have rather seen photographs.
