Summary: "Hard to read font"
The book may be good but the font is very incomfortable to the eyes. For those of us who after 45 require readers it is almost impossible to read. Maybe it should come in the kindle version so we can increase the font.

Summary: "Excellent travel guide!"
When I am traveling somewhere that I've never visited, I always buy the Eyewitness Travel Guide for the city or area where I'm visiting. These guides are very comprehensive and include anything you could possibly need to maximize your visit, including where to stay, where to eat, location of sights you'll want to see and the hours the sights are open, as well as specialties of the area. I wouldn't travel without these.

Summary: "The Best Guide to the sights of DC"
In planning for a trip to D.C. I purchased the most recent fodors gold travel guide. It was nice and got me headed in the right direction, but did offered little help after the air and hotel reservations were made and I had planned a day to day itinerary. I wanted more information...and more photos of the places I was going to be visiting and the overall history behind it all. The DK eyewitness guide did not disappoint me. If you have ever seen a DK book you have an idea of what to expect, lots of valuable and interesting information along with great photos and brilliant 3-D cutaway drawings of the major buildings of Washington. This book is slightly geared towards visitors from outside the US (it describes our currency, our government, our electric plugs, how to drive here, etc.) but is still invaluable for anyone who wants good information on D.C. The guide is small enough and could be carried around easily, and it even has a large metro rail map in the back cover. I look forward to using the DK eyewitness guide in D.C.
