5.0 out of 5 stars Inspiring to any lover of maritime history, August 20, 1999

By A Customer

Very concise and mentions the Collossus of Rhodes and the Pharos of Alexandria as the first known lighthouse wonders to grace a dangerous port. It has great historical significance and covers many geographical areas in North America. I would recommend it as a great coffee table adornment.

4.0 out of 5 stars A fine photographic collection, August 8, 2000

By	Brian D. Rubendall (Oakton, VA) - See all my reviews (TOP 100 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

Jill Caravan's book has some of the best photographs I have seen of lighthouses from all across the United States. It is a large coffee table book, which adds to the effect of the photos. What it does not have is much in the way of either information or history about the lights. Still, its a good book for lighthouse lovers.

5.0 out of 5 stars It is what it says, a picture book., April 16, 2002

By	purplebubba (Detroit Area, MI) - See all my reviews

My brother bought me this book for Xmas. It's a good book to look at and does have some paragraphs of info. This book is not for finding lighthouses. I like to call this a coffee table type book. Its a nice book to have laying around for someone to look at. There are some very nice pictures.

5.0 out of 5 stars A very beautiful book on lighthouses!
This book has some very lovely photos of lighthouses in
it. It's a cofee table style book, and it's well worth getting for anyone who loves lighthouses.
