I did not read this book -- I bought it as a gift.Glancing through it, I thought the pictures were attractiveand the write-ups easy to read. The person who receivedthe book was very happy with it.

A good guide book for lighthouses. Good descriptions and pretty good directions to find the lighthouses. Author does a good job as with her other lighthouse guide books.
