I know that Bruce and Ray Jones don't visit or include all of the Great Lake lights in their books, but it is highly arguable that they do portray the best looking ones. I travel from Chicago to Upper Peninsula and have to include their books on the trip with all of the excellent directions. They are excellent travel guides and provide nice context to why and where they lights originated and give sufficient information about the beacon. They are my number one travel books when I go on a lighthouse expedition and they are bar none no better book published with directions on Great Lake lighthouses.
What a wonderful book, complete with beautiful color pictures, directions, and histories of most of the lighthouses. It was an invaluable tool when I drove my Mother around Lake Michigan and Lake Superior. Including prices in the book would have been helpful, but I understand why they were not included. Some lighthouses were free to visit (Point Iraquois Light, Michigan), some were $8 to visit (Split Rock Light, Minnesota) and some were $3 for a one-hour car pass in Wisconsin. Other than that, I don't know how Roberts and Jones could improve their book. I assume their "Eastern Great Lakes Lighthouses" is just as fantastic.
Again as with the 'Eastern Great Lakes Lighthouses' I was disappointed that all lights and lighthouses were not included. The photography and the stories were excellent and the driving directions were pretty good. I have since found very adequate books for visiting ALL Great Lakes lighthouses and will use them when traveling the Great Lakes.
