Summary: Hardly "Difinitive"
Comment: As someone who sees lighthouses on the NH Seacoast, I wanted to find out more about lighthouses in general- and ordered this book.

While it is a good collection of quick facts, it has made two glaring omissions- the Boon Island Lighthouse off York Maine is not mentioned (and that is a dangerous place!) and the Plum Island Lighthouse seems to be refered to as as the Newburyport Range Lights - which are the only intact pair of navigational lighthouses still standing.on the waterfront near downtown Newburyport MA.

If there are two glaring errors such as this within a 30 mile stretch of coastline, how many others may be within this book?

Summary: A Wonderful Guide to America's Lighthouses
Comment: Whether you are a novice or a seasoned lighthouse devotee, you will find this outstanding collaboration between Ray Jones and Bruce Roberts a wonderful addition to your lighthouse library. With an informative introduction on lighthouse history and short descriptions of individual lighthouses that include a brief history and interesting facts and, of course!, Bruce's usual stunning photographs, American Lighthouses serves as a wonderful armchair read and an excellent travel companion. Detailed directions, information on other area attractions, and photography tips are added bonuses that make this book a "must take" for every lighthouse adventure.

Summary: The Best Book Available on American Lighthouses
Comment: Bruce Roberts and Ray Jones have produced a number of outstanding, authoritative yet reader-friendly books about lighthouses, but this one is their best yet! Bruce's award-winning photography combined with Ray's interesting, informative text make this book a treasure trove of facts, insights, and beautiful visuals. The Introduction provides the most comprehensive but easy-to-understand summary of lighthouse history available. As an added bonus the authors include detailed directions to the lighthouses as well as visitor information and tips on taking your own photographs to document your visit. This book is a must-have!
