Lighthouses: A Close Up Look is a very well researched book regarding some of the lighthouses in the United States. Along with colored pictures there are black and white photos showing how the lighthouses looked before renovations, a before and after study of one of my favorite things. There are also architectural plans with descriptions of the lenses used and other interesting and historical details of the area and lighthouses themselves.
I enjoyed reading this ebook as I love anything to do with lighthouses and have even been to a few of the ones listed in book. (
