You can purchase such books at the gift shops of the museum or check them out at your local library.

  2. Just came back from two days in DC. I had an awesome time exploring the National Mall and all the museums. I have to say, the Museum of American History took me by surprise. I didn't think I would enjoy it as much as the others, but the "Entertainment Nation" exhibit was amazing! Priceless costumes and artifacts from American movies, music, sports, and TV. Awesome!
