This book is great. I never knew there were this many dining choices in Cleveland. Laura adds just enough detail about each establishment that you can enjoy the history as well. New to this edition is an expansion beyond Cleveland to include other cities in Ohio.

As a basic fisher.......person? (What's PC these days, anyway?) Anyhoo - as a beginning angler, I found this book to be great - it really describes most of northern Ohio, and will keep me busy for some time. Barbo tells you where the fish are and how to get there - with enough information to keep you from getting lost if you've never been there before. Barbo also has a enjoyable writing style - easy to read, and humorous, and he sounds like a great person to go fishing with (So - John, if you read this - drop me an e-mail, and maybe we can hook up together....sorry - no pun intended :)

If you fish in the Cleveland area, buy this book!

A must have for anyone who wants to go to a college or conservatory for creative majors. If your counseling department at your high school does not have this book, you need to buy it yourself.

Provides enrollment facts, degrees offered, application procedures, website addresses, contacts, expenses, student profiles, and is especially useful in addressing whether freshman are admitted directly into the professional programs or if they must pay their dues to get in.

Get this book!

this is one of the best guides I have found that has all of the price values on all of the different items that I collect. It is very easy to use and find the different values you would need to keep your collection up to date on its true value. A great 5 star rating...

After a college bound student has decided on a major to pursue in college, this resource should be used to find the colleges and universities, which offer the degree of interest. Schools are listed by state under each major. Degrees (certificates to doctorates) available in that major at each institution are also noted.

Students, teachers, counselors, researchers and lifelong learners will reap the bounty of Earl Jackson Jr.'s "College Connections Web Directory 1997," a taut cyberguide and reference directory that navigates readers through the formidable array of educational resources and job training sites available on the Web. Students will especially enjoy the accompanying CD-ROM, which contains, besides Microsoft's Internet Explorer Web browser, College Link, the jazzy college application software, which streamlines the application process by customizing admission forms to the colleges of your choice. Included here as well is Jackson's own invention, Detective Fiction, an interesting online course that showcases the potential of the Web for classroom use. "College Connections Web Directory 1997" is a magna cum laude, online look at the world of higher education.

With so much disinformation regarding nontraditional schools offering higher degrees, it's comforting to read a book based in both reality and calmness. No high sales pitch here, just good advice regarding a lot of good, nontraditional schools and programs. Highly recommended.
