Good Lighthouse Coffee Table Book

This is a large coffee table book with appropriately stunning photos of lighthouses from around the world. F. Ross Holland is one of the most informed writers on lighthouses and he provides plenty of easy reading history to go with the pictures. An informative and visually satisfying book for lighthouse lovers.

Another Great F. Ross Holland book

F.Ross Holland begins with a few world lights-of-old in drawings. From there the photography captures lighthouses from the British Isles to the U.S., including Alaska and Hawaii. Lights from Canada are here, as well as some from the Carribean. Many of the beautiful photos of today are accompanied by historical images. But this is not a mere picture book; there's plenty of stories and historical information. It's a great addition to any lighthouse lover's library!

Beautiful book with tons of history

This book is filled with many historical facts and fun stories tied to the lighthouses. The pictures are great.
