Summary: Visual Feast
Comment: This is a newer version of a previous volume, updated with many additions to the museum collection. Regardless of which guide one uses, both works are sumptious, filled with beautiful color photographs and admirable descriptive text. It is the perfect coffee table repository, attracting both attention and creating many a conversation.

This is a heavy tome, an oversized tour of the building replete with history, background and purpose. It is applicable for either those who have seen the Museum in person or those who just dream of walking its halls some day.

Rating: 5
Summary: A Virtual Tour and Visual Delight
Comment: I encourage anyone who has ever visited the Museum of American History in Washington, DC and anyone who has not yet visited to invest in a copy of this book. Everything from the vibrant colors on the front cover, to the images of the museum's treasures within the pages is unique in its own way, and worth closer inspection. A picture is worth a thousand words, but the captions and text for each chapter are informative and to-the-point, yet anecdotal enough to entertain and hold a reader's interest. Kendrick and Lubar have created a jewel that the Smithsonian should be as proud of as any of the objects selected for this publication.
