 Superbly illustrated pop-up book Jan 23, 2009
A superbly illustrated introductory book for lighthouse fans. There are only 5 pop-ups, but they are very well made and will last.
Please do keep in mind this is more like a young reader's book. Hard-core lighthouse fans will find this book not comprehensive enough. Parents who hate exercise be warned: Your kids may insist dragging you up the lighthouse stairs after reading this book. I know my kids will.
MOST AWESOME BOOK EVERNov 18, 2008
Would recommend to anyone.. totally worth the money. Do not buy if you are selaphobic.

pop-up LighthousesMay 18, 2008
Lighthouses are a favorite of mine, both in visiting them and painting them in watercolor. The pop-ups in this book are amazing! All are detailed and placed in their home setting along with the keeper's house. They are so tall! The best coffee table book on the market! This is the one to have!

Must have for Lighthouse collectorsFeb 19, 2008
This is a great book for people who collect Lighthouse collectables. The actually number of lighthouses displayed is small but then this book is as much about the art of pop up as it is about lighthouses history. So Great Fun if you take it is is a Pop up of some lighthouses and a brief overview of American lighthouses second.
