Whether they're just beginning to think about paying for college, are currently in school, starting repayment or already overwhelmed with debt, students, as well as recent graduates and parents, find The Guerrilla Guide to Mastering Student Loan Debt an indispensable guide to navigating the student loan maze. In clear, lively and reassuring chapters, it answers such time and money-saving questions as:
What types of loans are available, and how are they different?
How can I get the best possible deal?
What are my options for repaying my loan and can I postpone repayment?
How can I get a forbearance or a deferment?
How can I repair my credit rating?

Written by a Boomer, this excellent guide is unhyped and nonjudgmental. It is also written with enough clarity and style to lure even the most print-averse young person. Ms. Stockwell, a journalist who financed her own education with loans, unjumbles with ease the confusing acronyms and arcane rules of lenders. She even sneaks in the political view that student borrowers -- mostly X'ers who have racked up $100 billion in debt since 1990 -- should get a better deal.
But the preaching stops there.
Everything else in this information-rich book is practical and unusually accessible. And everything else includes, well, everything -- even an entertaining section on how lenders track down deadbeats.
Students entering college this fall will find much that is useful in this book. So will their Boomer parents; it's a mini-expert's drea. So, of course, will their grandparents, who may, after all, wind up footing the bills. -- By Deborah Stead, The New York Times, 9/7/97
