Book Description
Illustrated map and guide to all the lighthouses in Maine. Each lighthouse is named and located on a useful highway map of Maine. The reverse side gives a brief history of each light as well as specific directions to the lighthouse, or the best viewing spot. The map is enhanced by two dozen watercolor paintings commissioned expressly for the map.

concise August 18, 2006
This guide is a concise and fairly informative pamphlet for those travelling along the Maine coast. It is very inexpensive, and does not take up much space, but covers all the lighthouses one might run into along the coast.

Handy, But.... March 16, 2006
This guide will surely come in handy, but as someone has already stated, real lighthouse pictures would have been better than illustrations.
Still, I wish I had had(?) one of these for directions to lighthouses in other trips we've made to New England. So many are really hard to find...especially for tourists!
It was "as advertised."
Thanks.

Not what I expected September 7, 2005

I actually expected a booklet. All you get is a single piece of paper folded like a map. The descriptions are OK, and it does point out locations accurately. But, I really expected more.

beautiful and useful map and guide November 3, 2003
10 out of 10 found this review helpful

On medium-weight, semi-glossy paper, this beautiful and durable map folds out to approximately 2 feet by 3 feet. On one side is a three-color highway map of the coast of Maine, inlaid with paragraphs on many of the lighthouses and framed by watercolor pictures of about two dozen. The reverse side describes all 65 of Maine's lighthouses; the descriptions give a short history, the optimal viewing spot, directions, contact information, hours of operation, transportation options, etc.

If you are interested in lighthouses, Maine, nautical history or maps, you will probably love this great map. Travellers will find it indispensable. What a bargain!

My wife and I just returned from a trip to Maine. We found the info in this guide to be very helpful in finding 21 lighthouses, most of which were well hidden. Without this map/guide, we would not have found most of them since they are usually not well sign posted.
