Kay Evans has really done her homework with this book. New comers and long time residents will find this an invaluable resource guide. This book covers alot of ground and it's great to have a personal reference when looking for services.

Hidden in issue ten of volume 15 of this RBOC Update is possibly the most gripping 500 word essay documenting the tireless work of Bellsouth, relentless missionaries of The Real Yellow Pages.

There can be only one Real Yellow Pages according to Thomas Gale. This slyly dry tale of banishing the pagan "Talking Phone Book" from the greater Louisville area literally had me in tears; frightful, horrible tears. Of Joy. To see the word of the Real Yellow Pages reach each and every corner of that godforsaken land.

I particularly like this book because not only do they tell you about the cost of each school and the median GPA and LSAT score but also they ask the students what they like or don't like about each school. For example, they will tell you whether or not a law school is "high schoolish" or how cutthroat the place is. They also give the average age of the students.

"Fodor's 99 Worldwide Cruises and Ports of Call" is an outstanding guide.

Yes, we're given honest and pertinent advice on all the top cruise lines and their ports of call. And yes, the presentation of that information is very well-organized.

But what makes this guide such an exemplary one is the wealth of "cruise-primer" details. Everything from cabin graphics and library information (most ships have 500 to 1,500 volumes, including the latest best-sellers) to CruiseLoan offers and seasickness fears are addressed here.

Even routine issues are presented with welcomed specificity. The guide, for instance, doesn't just inform us that movies are shown aboard ships. It explains how many are generally shown, their times, screening facilities, and that "R" rated films may be edited for sex or violence (which may or may not float well with you.)

Another fine feature is the immensely-helpful two-page listing of cruise-only agencies near the front of the book.

This guide is a must-purchase for anyone planning a cruise.

This is a great coffee table book for pool fans and those interested in unique pool design. The book has fantastic shots of pools but it is not all pictures. There is some interesting commentary on the included pools from hotels around the world. Also serves well for vacation planning ideas.

Very thorough and easy to read. If you're looking for a dream vacation also check out, "World Ventures, Wes Melcher".

This is exactly what I was searching for to complete and supplement my plans for the year with my Technology classes.

If you're considering attending a Midwestern university, I highly recommend this book. In addition to typical information about universities, there are also testimonials from students about student life, organizations, and whether the campus parties are good. Some comments include: "There's not really a lot to do", "The faculty care greatly about the students", and "Everyone drinks and the parties rock". That's certainly not information the school's P.R. department would disclose!

All in all, a wonderful guide (which I used) to determine which school fits you best.

I liked this guide because it focused on particular regions of the country -the Northeast, and because it surveyed students on campus life. There are particular colleges that I am looking at for one of my former students and this guide is a good way for me to know more about them and for him to read also. We are in the Rochester, NY area so we focused on that area. I found out that SUNY Geneseo, my former alma mater, is still heavily focused on alcohol as it was when I went to school. A very disappointing factor for me. I was a non-drinker and life could be hell around drinkers, that is something I need to tell my student, a non-drinker. Brockport has some advantages but Nazareth College is looking more and more attractive. I liked the high interest ratings the professors got and the 95% rating of campus life, without being a drinking college. I can't wait to share this guide with my former student so he can get more information on colleges.
