This weekend’s Independence Day festivities in Washington, DC, when the National Mall is jammed for the traditional concert and fireworks extravaganza, is a boom time for flag dealers, refreshment stands and souvenir vendors. And it’s Anthony Pitch’s favorite time of year. He writes and sells a little paperback book that’s a hit with Washington tourists. It’s called-Exclusively Presidential Trivia, and it contains more than 650 brain-teasing questions and answers about U.S. chief executives.
Anthony pitch has written scholarly books on subjects like the burning of Washington by British troops in 1814. And he’s finishing another serious book about the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln. But Mr. pitch, a native Englishman and former journalist in Africa and the United States, also publishes simpler tourist guidebooks and maps, leads tours of Washington and each year freshens his Exclusively Presidential Trivia book.
