The Lighthouse Book

The Lighthouse Book
Author: Samuel Willard Crompton.
Format: 311 x 149mm, 96 pages.
Cased or paperback (with flaps) editions.

The lighthouse stands as a heroic testament to an earlier age. Now disappearing from our shores because of modern technology, the picturesque, lonely beacons that have been preserved are at once mysterious and nostalgic. Capturing the essence of the compelling lore of lighthouses in stunning color photographs by Charles J. Ziga and with a lively text by Massachusetts-based historian Samuel Willard Crompton, this volume offers a glimpse into the fascinating stories behind these magnificent landmarks and their valiant keepers.
