The Ultimate Book of Lighthouses: History, Legend, Lore, Design, Technology, Romance

Our original copy of this book was ruined by a flood, but the lighthouse fancier in the house demanded that we replace it. It's THAT good, including lots of pictures and nicely worded text.

This is an excellent book on lighthouses. It is detailed, with great history of the lighthouses, and the photography is excellent. The price is great for the hardcover, large book this is. I would recommend it to anyone wanting to seek information on lighthouses, or just a lover of them.

This was a gift in unison with another Lighthouse themed present. It was a smash. The pictures are beautiful.

The cover picture of the West Point Lighthouse on Prince Edward Island, Canada was of particular interest to me since my Grandfather Capt Michael Howard sailed his schooners out of Brae Harbor and used the light as his guide. The lighthouse is now a hotel and restaurant and reservations are a year in advance. I stay nearby several times yearly and have breakfast there regularly. it is a beautiful spot ad you have to be there to appreciate it. When I first saw the text I was so pleasantly surprised that of all the lighthouses in USA & Canada they picked the home area of my Mom & Dad!!
