Bansemer's Book Of Carolina And Georgia Lighthouse showcases the great lighthouses that served the maritime trade for generations along the Carolina and Georgia coastlines. Roger Bansemer's informative text is superbly enhanced by his wonderful paintings. Most of these grand structures are no longer in service, having been rendered obsolete by advances in maritime and communications technologies. But their legacy lives on as proud relics of a maritime history that continues to hold a fascination for each new generation. Superbly produced and presented, Bansemer's Book Of Carolina And Georgia Lighthouse is a very highly recommended addition to any light house enthusiast's collection.

Bansemer's Book of Florida Lighthouses is the best book on lighthouses that I have ever read. Inside, is beautiful and colorful artwork of every Florida Lighthouse. This book contains very descriptive information and how to get to the lighthouses. I have read every book on Florida Lighthouses and this one is the BEST and will be for a long time!

I discovered this book while looking for a present for my aunt's 88th. birthday present. She and her late husband traveled all over the country taking their time to wander back roads and see things tourists miss. One of their favorite spots was the Smoky Mountains. I'm sure this book will bring back many pleasant memories for her. The paintings are wonderful as are the many small vignettes of birds and tree leaves. Even if you haven't been to the Smokies--as I haven't--you'll find the book enjoyable. Haven't read it yet, since I think my aunt should first, but I couldn't resist looking at the paintings, as did my parents. I highly recommend it.

Mr. Bansemer's drawings of the southern shores of the US and the activities that take place there are unsurpasssed. In addition to paintings, each is described in prose that sometimes makes you want to cry and sometimes makes you want to laugh. An excellent coffee table book to browse through again and again.

I recently did a sailing course in the BVI and this book came as part of the package. It was an invaluable asset to sailing in the Virgin Islands and I highly recommend it before going there. Details on restaurants, places to anchor for the day and overnight anchorages. This is a great reference book!

If you only had one publication to take on a trip to the Virgin Islands this would be it. The updates are good which means their research is working and I am really pleased to see the return to a spiral binding. This works so well when you want it to stay opened to a particular page.

I wouldn't sail the Virgin Islands without the latest copy of this guide. It is one of the better cruising guides to the busiest charter area in the world. I did like it better with the spiral binding in the earlier editions. Much easier to turn to a section and leave it open.
