The following book is no longer available in stores and I have long been searching for a few copies for stock. Finally I was able to pick up two at another out of print book store though they were quite pricey, and I don’t expect to find any more in the future. This will certainly be your last opportunity to pick this title up for your library.

Gowdy, Jim. GUIDING LIGHTS OF THE DELAWARE RIVER AND BAY. Mizpah. 1991. 2nd. Post bound. 106p. Early printed prototype for his later enlarged work of the same title, which became the most comprehensive history ever written on the lighthouses, lightships, tenders and depots of the Delaware River and Bay – from Cape May to Gloucester City and Philadelphia to Fenwick Island.
