I have a first printing of this book in my collection, copyright 1969. It was published by Scrimshaw Press which Paul Giambarba started in 1965. I haven't seen the newest edition, but the early version was about 60 pages (unnumbered) with pen and ink sketches of lighthouses around the world (althought mostly from the Atlantic and Pacific coasts). The book was written for children and the text on each page varies from a single sentence to a 5 or 6 sentence paragraph. It will be interesting to see the new version.
