What a wonderful book, complete with beautiful color pictures, directions, and histories of most of the lighthouses. It was an invaluable tool when I drove my Mother around Lake Michigan and Lake Superior. Including prices in the book would have been helpful, but I understand why they were not included. Some lighthouses were free to visit (Point Iraquois Light, Michigan), some were $8 to visit (Split Rock Light, Minnesota) and some were $3 for a one-hour car pass in Wisconsin. Other than that, I don't know how Roberts and Jones could improve their book. I assume their "Eastern Great Lakes Lighthouses" is just as fantastic.

I found this guide ideal when I used it to locate lights to visit in this region last year. Bruce Roberts' superb photography and Ray Jones interesting and informative narrative significantly enhanced my enjoyment in visiting the lights.
These books are good for finding the lights that are in them April 16, 2002
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.

I know that Bruce and Ray Jones don't visit or include all of the Great Lake lights in their books, but it is highly arguable that they do portray the best looking ones. I travel from Chicago to Upper Peninsula and have to include their books on the trip with all of the excellent directions. They are excellent travel guides and provide nice context to why and where they lights originated and give sufficient information about the beacon. They are my number one travel books when I go on a lighthouse expedition and they are bar none no better book published with directions on Great Lake lighthouses.
