5.0 out of 5 stars beautiful and useful map and guide, November 3, 2003

By	audrey (white mtns) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

This review is from: Maine Lighthouses Map & Guide (Map)

On medium-weight, semi-glossy paper, this beautiful and durable map folds out to approximately 2 feet by 3 feet. On one side is a three-color highway map of the coast of Maine, inlaid with paragraphs on many of the lighthouses and framed by watercolor pictures of about two dozen. The reverse side describes all 65 of Maine's lighthouses; the descriptions give a short history, the optimal viewing spot, directions, contact information, hours of operation, transportation options, etc.

If you are interested in lighthouses, Maine, nautical history or maps, you will probably love this great map. Travellers will find it indispensable. What a bargain!

5.0 out of 5 stars Maine Lighthouse Map, March 29, 2000

By	Grant A Lee (Fargo, North Dakota United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Maine Lighthouses Map & Guide (Map)

If you are looking for a source map, this is it. This map/guide gives you detailed information on where to find the lighthouses, right down to which streets to turn on, and history of the lighthouses. It was my first time in Maine and thanks to the map/directions didn't get lost once and enjoyed every minute of my trip.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not what I expected, September 6, 2005

By	Donald L. Feinberg "The Ducque" (Chicago, IL USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.
