Washington, D.C.: A Pictorial Celebration Hardcover – March 1, 2005

My husband received one as a gift and my friend liked it so much I bought her one as a gift.

Having visited DC for the first time in four decades, I relied upon online travel venues to glean information about sites I wanted to experience. Big mistake! Upon returning, I purchased a used copy of this book through Amazon at a serious discount. The photo quality is superior, some taken from vantage points not possible with a standard camera lens. All photos depict clear skies, perfect weather, and at many sites the ubiquitous cherry blossoms.There are many sites not properly identified on online travel venues, like TripAdvisor. Example: "The House Where Lincoln Died" is across the street from Ford's Theatre, but is labeled "Peterson's Boarding House." Although that building was Petersen's [this is the correct spelling] Boarding House, the National Park sign clearly states "The House Where Lincoln Died". I had no way of knowing to search for Peterson/Petersen.For future travel experiences, I intend to purchase through Amazon pictorials of those destinations, so that I can better schedule the limited time available.

Recently went to DC and didn’t want to bring the book in my carry on, so i decided to order it and have it shipped. Good thinking, the book arrived in perfect condition and pictures are beautiful.

I ordered the calendar for my grandson as he is going on a school trip to washington D.C. this spring and we just noticed it is a 2018 calendar rather than a 2019. Could this be replaced with the current year? Thank You

We were fortunate enough to have had the opportunity to spend a week in Washington D.C. I took lots of photographs, but this book does a much better job of presenting the highlights of our trip. I looked at a few other books, but this one seemed to be the best choice. It gets my recommendation.

I have begun giving these as exchange gifts w/the various foreign visitors my office associates with. They really appreciate the books either because it enhances their visit to the DC area or due to time constraints, they were unable to visit any of the sites pictured in the book so they use it as a reference. What I like about Jeanne's book: how the various topics are divided into sensible categories, that it's quickly updated (eg, the MLK memorial was included in the last order), the beautiful pictures, the concise backstories of each photo, the generous size of the book.

I ordered 30 books but for some reason somebody split them in three orders.I received five of then but some of then are damaged.The book has good quality. Pictures are good.It’s a good book!!

Didn't get to see everything we wanted to on our trip to DC last week....this book has it all. Took a lot of pictures with my boys....the pictures in this book are absolutely gorgeous. Great historical facts as well. It is a nice big book for such a little price....very surprised. Highly recommend this book!

This book has very nice photographs of Washington DC, in fact they are great, it reminds me when I visited more than 20 years ago and shows some things that are new making me feel I should go back.

Bought this after visiting D.C. It really consolidated our trip!

Book was in excellent condition and is just what we wanted.

good book

I received the book and noticed it had been signed by Jeanne Fogle. There was also a card from the Washington.DC tour guide office. Couldnt be happier!
