DC By the Book is an innovative project created by Tony Ross and Kim Zablud of the DC Public Library. This rather novel work "explores the richness of non-Federal civic life in Washington and its character as a city, as brought to life by fiction." The entire work is supported by the Institute of Museum and Library Studies' Library Services and Technology Act grant program. First-time visitors can jump in by entering an address or zip code into the search engine, while more experienced users can also add book listings to be incorporated into the map. The Project Book List is a great place to look around, as it includes the master list of the more than 200 books included thus far. Visitors can also use the Search Listings to browse around or read the list of Contributors for information about who has added geographical bits of data to the project. Every city should be so fortunate as to have such a wonderful mashup of literature and geography. [KMG]
