Summary: where's the book
Comment: This book is about 70 pages of recruiting information and 125 pages of addresses and phone numbers of schools. Given the fact that 25 pages are made available with the "look inside" feature, you can read 1/3 of the book online and get the names, phone numbers, and addresses of schools using the web or at the library.

The book provided some decent information at best, but when I got to page 80? and realized the book was over, I didn't feel very good and I certainly didnt need 125+ pages of addresses of schools I have no need to call or no desire to call..
