DC Washington Books

This book is very comprehensive in terms of areas covered -- lots of suburban restaurants included -- and thus especially useful for people who live in the area. Only quibble is that it's time for a 2nd Ed.

This is an interesting view into some of the many grand homes of Washington, D.C. See my review of another listing. All the hardcover 1969 editions are the same, except for the slipcover edition, as Whitehall Hadlyme & Smith, Bramhall House, and Clarkson N. Potter are all associated. Recommended for all who are interested in the notable houses of Washington, D.C.

Great book about the history of the Marine Corps Marathon, "The People's Marathon."
I had a chance to meet George Banker at the 2007 Marine Corps Marathon.

Recommended for all who have run this great Marathon.

This book in the Boxcar Children series involves all of thesame characters in the Alden family. In the beginning of the book,the children learn their grandfather will be traveling to Washington, D.C. for business and the children will get to go too. But because the grandfather will be busy during the day he has arranged for the children to stay at a bed and breakfast. While staying at the bed and breakfast the children meet many fascinating characters who all become suspects in the disappearance of items from the bed and breakfast. The children also make friends with a girl named Almira who is being followed by men in dark suits and sunglasses. While you enjoy the mystery you also get some great information about Washington, D.C. The children visit monuments and museums and share with readers some of the wonderful sights they see. It is a great book to read while studying Washington, D.C. in school. I highly recommend it - my third grade class really enjoyed it.

I used the book as I was house-hunting and relocating to DC for school. I had only been to DC once before, but the book provided many helpful tips on transportation, neighborhoods, and finding a place to live

I just got the first 3 of this new National Park Passport Companion books (along with NE and SE region).

I plan to soon return to the National Capital area, and want to know where I can get the various passport stamps. This will really help me in knowing where they are and get as many as I can.

Washington DC itself and adjacent states have indefinite access to rich cultural heritage and diversified natural wonders, including numerous Civil War sites such as Gettysburg and Richmond, early British settlement at Williamsburg and Jamestown, Fall colors at Shenandoah Valley and Thomas Jefferson's residence, Coastal experience of Annapolis and Ocean City, Mountains and rafting at West Virginia New River Gorge, Amish communities in Pennsylvania.

I have lived at DC area for 4 years, and been to a number of sites provided in the book, but I still bought the book for the guide to where I have not been to and a reference to where I might have missed. The book plans mostly two or three-day trips from Washington DC, perfect for weekend getaways or short vacations.
