I bought this after looking through a dozen maps at the bookstore to use during a the few weeks that I visited DC.
It is basically a nice map with a 40 page booklet stapled to it.

I read the "guide"/booklet part of it which includes concise descriptions of the major highlights of DC; the depth of this guidebook is appropriate for those who are only going to spend a day or two touring or those that are supplementing with another guidebook (I liked DK's Eyewitness book with pictures). When I was done reviewing the "guide" part, I separated it from that map and travelled around with just the map part.

This map is very user friendly & informative: Words/colors are easy to read. It includes the Metro stops, famous buildings, & parks all superimposed on one easy to use folding map. I have been all over the city and found the location of these sites to be accurately marked on the map. Also, Adams-Morgan (north) and Rosslyn(west) are included. On the back side of the map is a schematic diagram of the entire Metro train system as well as a Washington DC regional road map.
Several people that live in DC have commented that it's a useful map.
Also, the map is laminated and very sturdy.
