The College Board International Student Handbook 2004: All-New Seventeenth Edition

Summary: 3/4 of the book are a complete waste of money
Review: the book is very good in the beginning, giving you some good extra information, about when to start preparation, and explaining the us scholar system, additionally it says where you'll be able to work and how much you're expected to earn, let's say a lot of useful information

But 3/4 of the book is just a stupid list of all the colleges + universities! A list with lots more of information can be found on their website www.collegeboard.com !(you can even compare 2 or 3 different schools!). I don't know if there's a better book, but this one isn't really worth buying. It seems to be pretty large, but if you consider just the "written" part, it shrinks to the size of a small booklet.....
