This review is from: Washington Off the Beaten Path, 6th (Off the Beaten Path Series) (Paperback)

Although this book has a lot of information in it, I was rather disapointed. The format of the book makes it hard to read, and there are very few pictures of the attractions. I don't think I would recommend this book.

2.0 out of 5 stars Disorganized stream-of-consciousness, February 11, 2010

This review is from: Washington Off the Beaten Path, 6th (Off the Beaten Path Series) (Paperback)

Pro: Has a very pretty photo on the cover

Cons: This stream-of-consciousness book is so poorly organized and formatted as to be worthless. Other than the cover (and tiny b&w illustrations at the start of each section) there are no photographs. The typography and formatting is similar to a 100-page single-spaced typewritten manuscript. The text lacks any useful detail, and tends to ramble from one point of interest to the next. Fortunately, the book has a small index. But be prepared to spend some time searching for the relevant text once you know the page numbers.
