Summary: Don't be fooled by the title
Review: *Disclaimer: This is not a review of content but rather it's presentation and organization.*To put it simply, I was expecting to get a CD that I'd pop into the drive and get an animated menu to quickly choose from all the available stats, information, etc. Except that there is only a bunch of folders with Microsoft Word documents in them! An encyclopedia is supposed to be a quick reference, but this...this is just a waste of time. I only bothered looking at ONE of the documents and it *was* well written, but I mean, there isn't even a SEARCH mechanism or index. To find information you'd have to print out over 100 pages of text which is a waste of time to me. I thought I'd be getting a CD with an interactive menu, etc. I mean I did pay [money] for this!

Summary: Biggest Disappointment in my life
Review: I purchased the CD ROM version. I assumed that I was purcahsing an interactive, searchable database oriented software title. The only thing on the CD-Rom is a Microsoft Word document and a few photos. The guy sold me his book in the form of a Word doc. I can not find words to express my outrage and anger. I have purchased other "Encyclopedias" in CD-ROM format such as Music Encylopedias, baseball encyclopedias, etc. All were searchable databases.But this, this tripe in a celophane wrapper is the single most disappointing product I have ever purchased.

Summary: Instant Access to College Football Info. Available Here
Review: The College Football Encyclopedia is a treasure trove of information on the more than 90 teams included, giving many facts and figures on every year of competition for each school listed-scores, star players, statistics, bowl records, coaches, etc. Also included are a number of photos of stars of each team through the years, and interesting brief histories of college football and of the various major conferences. All of this, including the photos, are instantly accessible through the CFE Help Folder. Indexes are included as well. I found the book to be well organized, well written, and a valuable research tool as well as providing entertainment.
