I recently bought some old issues of Lighthouse Digest. A few years ago I had also purchased a few vintage back issues of Wildbird magazine from about thirty years ago. It was a beautiful birding magazine. It is a rather sad thing that some physical magazines are going out of business. Somehow a projection of a magazine online is not so attractive to me as the actual physical copies (especially with the pictures). Lighthouse Digest had an electronic version, but I preferred the paper copies. You can’t replace the real thing.

There are some very nice lighthouse books too. I recently bought American Lighthouses: A Pictorial History by Jill Caravan. Some of the others include Lighthouses of the Great Lakes by Todd R. Berger and Legendary Lighthouses (volumes one and two), by John Grant and Ray Jones, which is based on the PBS television series. The books about lighthouses in Michigan include Lighthouses of Michigan by John Penrod.  These books are all beautifully illustrated. They are mainly about American lighthouses.  There is also Lighthouses of the World by Lisa Purcell. I am sure that there are more fine books about the lighthouses of other countries.
