The only one I can think of is Herman Taube's My Baltimore Landsmen which I still have not read despite having owned it for years and years.
6WildMaggie
Couple of Anne Tyler novels; Saint Maybe and Back When We Were Grownups. Those are the ones I've cataloged, anyway. I think there must be at least a couple about Antietam in the many Civil War books I haven't gotten to yet.

I have a bunch, but here are a few of the more interesting:
The Chesapeake in the 17th Century - essay collection
Thimbleriggers: The Law v. Governor Marvin Mandel - Maryland politics are my favorite politics
The Entailed Hat - based-on-a-true-story novel about mayhem and outlawry in 17th century Somerset County!
Misty of Chincoteague - oh, c'mon, you can't not count that one, even if it's technically mostly in Virginia.
Mistress of Riversdale - an upper-class woman's first-hand account of life in central Maryland in the Federal period.

Weird Maryland and a bunch of other "Ghosts of ______" for the state. Im really into local folklore, the weirder the better!
12gilroy
There is a Weird _____ for every state in the union so far, I think, and last I looked Barnes and Noble had a Weird DC while I was shopping at the Annapolis one.
13GoofyOcean110
Yes, I think I've seen both Weird Maryland and Weird DC - Barnes and Nobles and Borders tend to have them in the 'local' section.

Ooh I forgot to mention Doggin Maryland. I got it after I tried taking my dog to a park and being turned away at the gate. When I lived in Pennsylvania I never had this problem... dogs are apparnetly banned from quite a few parks down here :(
Its a rather nice little book, tells you where you can take your dog, how rough the trail is for tender paws, and whether or not there are swimming opportunities for water loving breeds.

I thought of another one. It was Rockville Pike by Susan Coll. I guess you could call it chick lit, a genre which I usually do not do, but who could resist reading about her own city? Besides, I am within walking distance of "the" real Rockville Pike. I enjoyed this humorous book very much, especially the familiar place names in the story.

#14 - Quiet Waters park in Annapolis is GREAT for dogs - there is a fenced in area where they can be taken off leash and let play with other dogs, and there is a dog beach on the South River where they can swim. I see lots of dogs in the park there year round.
