These college guidebooks are often referred to as the “telephone books” of colleges.  A term only today’s parents would understand.  They are thick, big and loaded with useful information about colleges, admission statistics, costs and majors. While much of the information is now available online via Naviance and College Board’s Big Future website, many prefer their information in hard copy.  This is only a sampling of what is available on the market.  Browse online book sellers or book stores and find the one you like best.  Always look for the most current edition.
