Used it to plan a very enjoyable trip to DC. Spouse had business to attend to and I got to site see. Of course, there is NO shortge of sites in this area and I had to prioritize what I really wanted to see due to time constraints.
This book allowed me to plan prior to our visit and then I was able to utilize it to "show me the way" once I was on the ground in the city. The maps were very beneficial and the descriptions in the book were very accurate. It was up to date and informative.
Would recommend to anyone planning a trip to DC.

We found this very informative for our upcoming trip to DC. It could have included more of the outlying areas insofar as accommodations, as the immediate DC area is extremely expensive.
