summer, take along the handy Official Guide to the Smithsonian

see. If you can’t actually get there, try either America’s Smithsonian
(£19.50/$24.95, ISBN 1 56098 699 9) or the CD-ROM One Hundred and
Fifty Years of America’s Smithsonian (£49.95, ISBN 1 57595 012 X) to get a
taste of some of the thousands of objects housed in the many museums and
galleries that make up this fabulous national resource.
