The worth of this easy-to-carry, easy-to-consult, 320-page guidebook is shown by its standing as the fifth most popular of all the Frommer's travel guides, a testament to the skills of its author Elise Hartman Ford, who returns for this third edition and has written for the Washington Post, Washingtonian Magazine, Ladies Home Journal and countless other publications.
