Customer Reviews

Very excellent lighthouse book

First, this book is chocked full of Bruce Roberts' beautiful photographs of the lighthouses in this region. The photographs are nothing less than SPECTACULAR! Combined with the revised and updated information on each makes this regional lighthouse guide a requirement you won't want to be without whether you're visiting the region or a life-long resident. The text contains full, rich descriptions of each lighthouse, too.I have many lighthouse books and all of Bruce Roberts' and Ray Jones' regional guides. I've read them all and used most of them while traveling. I've found them to be first rate, an excellent choice for people who want everything lighthouse between two covers. A joy to look at and informative to read.

These books are good for finding the lights that are in them

There are directions and other info for finding and visiting lighthouses. They do not always show all lights for a given area. The photos are all color. I own 3 of these books. There are not many other guide books out there so if you are looking for guide books these are good to have. Since there are so many books in this series I thought I'd help people find them easier. This is the series.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~American LighthousesCalifornia LighthousesEastern Great Lakes Lighthouses - I own this oneWestern Great Lakes Lighthouses - I own this oneSoutheastern Lighthouses - I own this oneSouthern LighthousesNew England LighthousesMid Atlantic LighthousesGulf Coast Lighthouses

Roberts and Jones are the best

Bruce Roberts and Ray Jones produce the best lighthouse travel guides available. This one is no exception.

Wonderful pictures, interesting facts

This is a very comprehensive collection of information about the lighthouses along the gulf coast. The photos are wonderful, the historical facts interesting and layout beautiful. And it includes directions to all the pictured lighthouses.

A good book about "still existing" Gulf Coast Lighthouses.

There aren't that many books about Gulf Coast Lighthouses, especially the Western Gulf. This book covers all the lights that are still standing, gives a picture and directions to each one, as well as a short history. It also has some good history in the introductions to each section, and general maps. It isn't an encyclopedia, but a very nice coverage of its subject. I think it belongs in the library of anyone interested in Gulf Coast Lighthouses.
