1. Lighthouse Books by Jeremy D'Entremont
Lighthouses of Massachusetts
Author: Jeremy D'Entremont
Price: $21.95
Our fascination with lighthouses didn't end when most of them were automated in the latter half of the twentieth century. Majestic, proud, and solitary, they still inspire us as beacons of hope and unique architectural features of the craggy New England coastline. But perhaps it is not their physical presence that most inspires us. Perhaps it is the spirit of the past that still inhabits them.
In his “Lighthouse Treasury” series, New England's leading lighthouse authority, Jeremy D'Entremont, focuses on the human side of lighthouse history, telling the tales of the courageous keepers, male and female, and their families who kept the beacons burning, braved ferocious storms, and saved hundreds of lives in the days when shipwrecks were commonplace. In The Lighthouses of Massachusetts, D'Entremont continues his definitive series, narrating the histories of more than sixty lights from Buzzards Bay to Newburyport.

Ellen Chahey, The Barnstable MA Patriot - July 27, 2007
"A delightful, carefully researched, well-written, nicely produced book that deserves a home on the shelves of any lighthouse lover."

Lighthouses of Rhode Island
Author: Jeremy D'Entremont
Price: $14.95
The definitive series on the history of New England lighthouses continues with Rhode Island's thirty beacons. Here are just a few of the fascinating entries compiled by D'Entremont, New England's foremost lighthouse authority:
* A feud between two keepers at Whale Rock Light led to a harrowing life-and-death chase.
* The hurricane of 1938 devastated the state's lighthouses. The keepers at Plum Beach Light off North Kingstown miraculously escaped with their lives; others weren't so lucky.
* Ida Lewis lived at Newport's Lime Rock Light for more than 60 years and became one of the world's most celebrated lightkeepers.
* The keeper and his family at Block Island North Light aided the survivors of one of New England's worst shipwrecks, the Larchmont disaster of 1907.
* Pomham Rocks Light on the Providence River was home to a famous fish-catching cat.

Lighthouses of Connecticut
Author: Jeremy D'Entremont
Price: $14.95
There are 20 Connecticut lighthouses today, from Great Captain Island off Greenwich to Stonington Harbor, and D'Entremont has unearthed everything from unassailable fact to improbable ghost story. He doesn't stop with the lighthouses we see today. The Lighthouses of Connecticut also has chapters on major lights that have disappeared, Sperry Lighthouse in New Haven Harbor and the Bridgeport Harbor Lighthouse, as well as a chapter on lightships and some smaller lights that once protected traffic on the Connecticut River.
Read about:
* The keeper at Green's Ledge Light off Norwalk, who went on a binge ashore, leaving his assistant nearly to starve to death. Two years later, the assistant's brother replaced him and, in an apparent act of revenge, abandoned the new head keeper, who nearly starved to death himself.
* Ghosts that are said to inhabit Penfield Reef Light and New London Ledge Light. The latter, whose name is Ernie, is said to be the ghost of a keeper whose wife left him for the captain of the Block Island Ferry. Ernie threw himself off the light and has haunted it ever since.
* The hurricane of 1938 and how it nearly killed the keepers of Saybrook Breakwater Light. Everything in the light was washed away by the storm, except the keepers themselves.
* How isolation has driven keepers and their assistants insane. One keeper had to stay awake two days and nights, fending off his assistant, who threatened him with a razor lashed to the end of a spar.
The Lighthouses of Connecticut is meticulously researched and copiously illustrated, with photographs from the author's enormous collection.
