A good quick reference

This is certainly worth the money for a quick reference, but the description of the book is misleading. Maps consist of one each of each state plus a smaller one of that map's location in the U.S.--I suppose that makes it "packed with maps" by the sheer number of states involved. And, there are no quizzes that I could find, which was the main reason I purchased this book. But it is full of lots of good information about each of the states with some mention of the territories and Washington D.C.

*great on the basics of this country ie. Geography and FACTS..

great table top reference for any trip to any state in America...well DONE!
