 Excellent Feb 18, 2011
By Douglas L. Millar
Purchased as a gift for my wife. She really enjoyed it as it brought back memories of her summers in the Thousand Islands. This was the main book and the previous book was a companion to this. While both are excellent, of the two, I would recommend this one more.

 Great little book Dec 10, 2008
By David Holubetz
This is a positive review of the book, but less than five stars because it is small, and feels half done. I would have liked it to be a bigger format, with bigger pictures, and more of them. It's like a tease. For the price, and as a light overview of some of the nicer houses, it's great. But it seems that it could have been something more.

Beautiful book about a beautiful place Jun 24, 2008
By Ethics Prof
One of the most outrageously beautiful places on Planet Earth is the Thousand Island Region that straddles the U.S. and Canadian border along the northern edge of New York State. This book helps to show why the wealthy in the late 19th century flocked there. The homes and the "cottages" are sumptuous, as is the terrain. This book is no substitute for the real thing, but it sure does bring back lovely memories of a wonderful place.

Waterfront Estates Sep 01, 2009
By Lawrence E. Forget
Beautiful photography of the different seasons of this waterfront paradise. Lots of owner timeline history to the more famous islands and castles.
.. NIce inside pictures of some of the rooms, porches and boathouses with the desirable wood boats. Good table top item or carry out for the afternoon.
.. YES, do wish it was thicker & larger format like other A.Mollica boat books I have purchased.
