A fairly nice book – covers all of New York State.
Pros:
- Nice pictures
- Well organized; map in the front and then organized by region within the book
- Looks pretty good for the “how do I get there from here”? Anyone with a good New York State map and this book can probably find the lighthouses without trouble. (note: I haven’t used this book yet in real-time, so I may be amending my opinion on this.)
Cons:
- Contains a fair number of “holes” – lighthouses that should be there, but aren’t.
I’ll be adding more to this review as I use it more. Overall, I think it is a useful addition to the bookshelf.
[…] My primary source for this list is Lighthouses of New York, by Bruce Roberts and Ray Jones, unless otherwise noted. However, this will be supplemented by other souces since their book contains a number of “holes” (moreso in terms of the Great Lakes/St. Lawrence lighthouses than the Hudson ones, as it turns out). Lighthouses with links are ones that I have visited and have made a page about. […]
