"Getting around the Nation's Capital is about to get easier!"
Review
"An unusual and interesting idea for a guide book, 'Washington DC from A to Z' contains more than 2,100 alphabetical listings for the nation's capital and nearby suburbs in Virginia and Maryland. It includes brief descriptions of restaurants, hotels, historical sites and homes, museums, malls, retail outlets, theaters, events, festivals and parades. Each entry also features telephone numbers, directions and, when applicable, information on the nearest Metro stop....Very useful."
June Sawyers, "The Resourceful Traveler" column, Chicago Tribune, October 26, 2003

"'New York from A to Z,' by Paul Wasserman , and 'Washington D.C. from A to Z,' by Don Hausrath have most of the basic information you'll need once you hit the streets of each city, including sights, restaurants, shops, etc., listed in alphabetical order."

"Getting around the Nation's Capital is about to get easier!
Dr. Paul Wasserman, founding Dean of the College of Library and Information Studies (CLIS) and Professor Emeritus here, has teamed up with Don Hausrath, a long-time Washingtonian, to produce an easy-to-use guidebook to Washington, D.C and nearby suburbs in Maryland and Virginia. The volume covers everything from historic sites and monuments to insider information on restaurants and neighborhoods. The authors, both information service professionals, have organized the book alphabetically for easy reference and use. This is one of several features that sets the new book apart from other guides, which are usually organized geographically. Unless you know the neighborhood you are looking for, finding even major landmarks can be difficult. The alphabetical listings in this new book make it easy to use.
Washington, D.C., from A to Z is packed with extensive, but easy to access, information. The book has more than 2000 entries from ATM machines to Zorba's Café. Restaurants, hotels, historic sites and homes, museums, malls, retail outlets, famous people, dance companies, theaters, events, festivals, parades - all the interesting sites and attractions of Washington are described in detail. Each entry has a description, location, telephone number, how to get there, and other details such as hours of operation, admission charges, web site information, and credit card acceptability. Cross references help users find additional information on each topic."
