Umbrella Guide to California Lighthouses

I recently took a trip to California and visited a few of the lighthouses in the book. I purchased this book in advance and brought it with me on my travels. As I approached each lighthouse visited, I read from the book to my "travel-mates". We learned the directions and a brief history of each lighthouse. The information was condensed, easy-to-read and informative. Best of all, the directions for finding each lighthouse were accurate. This book was a great resource for planning my trip and I hope to use it again in the future as a reference when I return to the area to see a few more California lighthouses. A great travel resource and also a great book to just read and learn more.

The Nelsons write a knowledgible book about California's lighthouses. It is a great guide to those lighthouses. These people are great friends to lighthouses, having written several other Umbrella Guides. (Oregon, Washington) We have found them very useful in our quest to photograph every lighthouse in the U.S.
