About the Author:
Edward B. Fiske served for 17 years as education editor of the New York Times, where he realized that college-bound students and their families needed better information on which to base their educational choices. He is also the author of the Fiske Guide to Getting into the Right College. He lives in Durham, North Carolina.
Review:
The Fiske Guide to Colleges has been a best-seller for good reason. Few other books can capture the highlights and character of a school in such a clear and efficient manner.

The Fiske Guide to Colleges is a well-organized and comprehensive source of information on colleges and universities. The style of writing would appeal to both students and their families, as it is appropriately serious; that is, not slipping into adolescent vernacular, but without being overbearing.
