How Congress Works

Rating:
Summary: Good, but also look at Congressional Deskbook
Review: This book is good, but it is not the only outstanding book on Congress.

The Congressional Deskbook is different from other books on Congress because it includes practical tips for people who not only want to understand how Congress works, but who also want to understand how to work with Congress. Also, the Congressional Deskbook is updated every 2 years.

The publisher of the Congressional Deskbook, TheCapitol.Net, has a useful web site that contains a lot of information about Washington, DC, and Congress: thecapitol.net
I also like the other congress-related products they publish, including the Congressional Directory and the Congressional Operations Poster.
