Has anyone seen the new book "Lighthouses" by Sarah Wermiel? It is apparently available only from the American Lighthouse Foundation for $75.00 plus shipping. The description sounds interesting but it's pretty expensive. I'd like to know more before I put it on my Christmas wish list.

Think we had a big discussion about this when it came out. I don't think you can find it via search.

It IS available from Amazon for a much more reasonable $52.50. URL here.

It's apparently part of a series, in fact, published by Norton, a pretty big publisher for this kind of stuff. Just in the "recommended items" area I see ones on bridges, canals and barns.

It seems like a nice enough book. I don't really need to spend $50 on a book of B&W photos, even 800 of them. Your mileage may vary.

Just don't think it's an ALF exclusive.

Maybe purchasing from ALF at the higher rate gives a hefty share to them? Maybe Paul C. can enlighten us.

Hi all - We still have a few copies left at ALF. The cost is $50.00 sale price (plus $7 shipping)...and yes, some of the cost goes to help preserve lighthouses only if purchased through ALF! You may call in your order at 207 594-4174.


Best, smile
Paul
