DESCRIPTION:
Lighthouses hold a perennial fascination for all sorts of people - an indicator of danger, a beacon of the sea, laced with history and romance and a magnet for coastal walkers, holiday makers and tourists. This book is a beautifully presented panorama of over 150 lighthouses from 56 countries all around the world, all of which are accessible and many of which can be visited. From lighthouses boldly beaming their lights from clifftops, to those clinging to the edge of cliff faces, this is a spectacular and unusual celebration of lighthouses from every continent.This is a wonderful gift book in original packaging and a novel format which is just perfect for presenting lighthouses in all their glory.

Maris said Lighthouse fan. As being the lighthouses fan with my boyfriend, we did order this lighthouse book to get some ideas for our both hobbies - to travel and to see lighthouses around the world. We were a little bit suprised that all the pictures in the book were not so good at the qualities.But we did love the idea how the book was built up - divided by the contine. Aethelbert said In a league of its own. Excellent Presentation and wonderful photos
