'The illustrations say it all. Through his camera's eye you really 'see' each lighthouse. Not just candid shots of 'high buildings' with lights on top, but close-ups of the hand-hewn stone stairs of Old Point Comfort Lighthouse; the wide, shelf-like handrail of the Baltimore Lighthouse; the barnacles on the No Point Light; the bronze caster that rotated the light at Sandy Point; even the wooden privy of the front light of the Craghill Channel Range.' -- 'Chesapeake Bay Magazine'

Not the most complete reference book on the subject, but the distinctive black-and-white phototography is excellent. A very different visual treatment than you'll find in most other books about Chesapeake Bay lighthouses.
