I bought this book for my mom and thought I would do a quick read of it. I've been to Washington DC four or five times. This book has some interesting things in it if you have never traveled before. Like it talks about how to get a decent deal on a flight, rental car or train. It also explains what the Metro and the Metrobus is. It has a good selection of hotels and restaurants. I think the thing I was most disappointed about though was the reviews on the attractions. I was expecting more in-depth insights and coverages of the museums and other sites around Washington. Not paragraph blurbs. It was kinda sad and it definitely lowered the ranking for this book. I would recommend this book as a quick read in the bookstore or a library checkout book.

A nice basic "how to do DC" kind of book
