For those who just can't get enough of our favorite topic today, holiday lights, thumb through the pages of Holiday Lights! by David Seidman (Storey Publishing, $16.95). From gazebos to cabooses, from Rockefeller Center in New York City to a log cabin in the woods, from buses to bicycles, the author offers dozens of pictures of over-the-top displays. There's also advice on how to put up a lights display, shopping resources, lists of annual displays and photography hints.
