Very Good Plus/Near Fine Donald Graham M.A. became a lighthouse keeper in 1976 having served on Bonilla Island, Lucy Island and Point Atkinson. Author's first book and first volume of lighthouse keeping. As eternal symbols of hope, romance and civilized good, lighthouses fascinate almost everyone. But what goes on inside them? And what would it be really like to keep one? "Keepers of The Light", written during long night watches at Vancouver's famous Point Atkinson Light and its history, will provide these answers. Extremely interesting stories come from lighthouse history and brought to us by way of this author and professional historian. The book is packed with astounding revelations and brilliantly written! A most entertaining read.Map endpapers show Vancouver Island Lighthouse Stations and Range of lights. Many photos accompany text. Notes and index supplies. Front cover painting: Cape Beale by Buzz Walker. Back cover painting: Race Rocks by Buzz Walker. Delicate light grey boards show a bit of color loss to extremity. A bright, clean copy!.
