Castles and Cottages: River Retreats of the Thousand Islands

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.

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.

We spent a lovely long weekend with friends on a private island in the Thousand Islands this past fall. This book is a wonderful rememberance.

Beautiful hardcover gift

A little too much attention paid to minutiae.

I was very excited to get this book. However this experience has not been the most pleasant. I placed the order for this book at the end of May and they stated it would be here no later than June 23. It is now June 25 and the book is no where to be found. Because it was sent without a tracking number I have no clue where it is. I have contact the company several times and there response was the post office must have lost it. I am giving it one more week before I demand a refund. I don't think I will order again.

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.
