4.0 out of 5 stars A detailed guide
This is one of the most complete guides to the region that I have ever seen, and I've lived in all the states covered (including Washington, DC) except for Delaware. There are some holes--northeastern Maryland is not covered at all nor is part of Virginia's Allegheny Highlands--and the book now suffers from Lonely Planet's practice of not updating their guides...

2.0 out of 5 stars This book is not up to the standards of LP
The figures and schedules are way outdated. The maps are fairly accurate. It does have some good suggestions on "Places to Eat", but not really on "Places to Stay". I've used several LP guides for many different places in the World, and this book is definitely way below the rest. Still, it offers some help for the firts time travelers.

This review is from: Lonely Planet Washington, D.C. and the Capital Region (Travel Survival Kit) (Paperback)
This is one of the most complete guides to the region that I have ever seen, and I've lived in all the states covered (including Washington, DC) except for Delaware. There are some holes--northeastern Maryland is not covered at all nor is part of Virginia's Allegheny Highlands--and the book now suffers from Lonely Planet's practice of not updating their guides annually, but for in-depth coverage of off the beaten track areas such as western Maryland and southwest Virginia, where I live, this book is superior to any other guide I've ever seen.
