I was familiar with the Key West book by the same authors, so when I visited D.C. I wanted something similar. Give me the history (the real stuff, not what tour guides make up) and present it in a fun way. This book delivers.

I read it before my trip and made a list of the places I wanted to see. Then I carried it with me, so when I saw something interesting, I could look it up in the great index.

This book helped me see all the great stuff, plus a lot of "hidden treasures" that most people walk right by. I give it my highest recommendation.

An enjoyable broad offering of truly interesting facts told in an often sarcastic manner. Plenty of photographs further increase the readers knowledge and pleasure in this question and answer formatted book. A suitable read for young teens, as well as adults. I put it down on my chair in the airport and had to rescue my copy from a curious plunderer. I wish it would have contained a map that allowed the reader to visualize where the landmarks are in the territory.
