Campus Lodging Guide (18th ed)

Rating:
Summary: Unique, useful compilation.
Review: The essence of this book--campus lodging for rental off-season, is its great and unique claim-to-fame and is well presented. Insignificant typos do not detract from it. Other useful info therein, on related resources, is valuable if you're not at a computer or if you want the info in front of you in a handy volume. Unfortunately, our entire library system has only one copy (18th Edition). Even more unfortunately, the 19th Edition is out-of-print. Its lack of buyer-response is unfortunate and understates this wealth of useful information. This review applies to the 18th Edition.

Summary: Waste of money, time
Review: This book is terrible. The editors and writers haven't even mastered fifth grade selling and grammar. The book spells Ronald Reagan's name incorrectly, the book uses "Capitol" when the word should be "Capital" and the book mistakes "insure" for "ensure," among other errors. Many of the graphics are unreadable and are very unhelpful. Why are they even in the book? To fill space? The book includes basic information on how to obtain a passport, information which easily is available from any passport office or any county clerk's office, for that matter. The book wastes space with lists of numbers for airlines, numbers which are available in the phone book, on the Internet or from any travel agent. Don't buy this book.
