Customer Reviews:
Disagree strongly with previous negative reviews.......2002-05-16
I think the author was treated unfairly in the some of the earlier reviews. They must have been referring to the older editions of the book. The current edition of the book does talk about the new 529 plans without becoming an accounting textbook. What I like about Davis' treatment of the subject is the "you can do it yourself" approach instead of being a referral tool to financial advisors. Especially valuable is the worksheet on federal financial aid which gives one the ability to see how changes in one's finances can change computed financial need. Most financial aid websites just give you a grand total without explaining how the numbers were calculated. This isn't a book for those who love mind-numbing detail, but it is a good basic guide for getting started with a college savings plan.
This is a new edition, published in September 2001.......2001-12-12
This book is terrifically up to date. I wonder how the three people who gave it one star reviewed it five months before it was published. If they'd read the current edition (or any. I wonder just who these three people were who all happened to have reviewed the book on April 6. I smell a rat.), they would have found it to be wonderfully current, well written, comprehensive. Anyone with kids--whether teens approaching college or tots--would benefit from this book.
Don't Waste Your Time or Money on Tired Stuff.......2001-04-13
Should be called "Financing College in the 1990s." But it's now 2001 and a lot of the suggestions in this old clunker of a book just don't hold water any more. Lots of free web sites run by state treasurer's office will give you current advice on newer college investing plans and it's free. Also check out Nellie Mae or Sallie Mae which are not-for-profit organizations that arrange for money so that kids or adults can afford to go to college. Skip this book however because it's N-O-T worth it.
Poorly Written and Stale.......2001-04-07
I didn't notice that this insipid book was published more than three years ago and a lot has changed since then!
Tax-advantaged college savings investments have improved--some have even been created--since this stale book was written. Even qualifying for financial aid isn't what it was back in the old days when this book was published.
This author should either update this relic or stop selling out of date advice. In the meantime check out the multitude of free web sites that give better and also current advice.
NOT HELPFUL -- Out of Date Advice.......2001-04-07
Many of the college savings plans as well as the rules for qualifying for financial aid have changed substantially since this book was written three years.
This old book caused my kids to lose out on money that they could have gotten:
1) It doesn't even mention many of the new and improved college savings and investing plans that are now available.
2) And the rules for qualifying for financial aid have changed significantly since this book was published so this book omits viable options.

Book Description
Scholars in various disciplines are recommending comprehensive measures to solve multiple societal as well as individual problems. The philosophy of "community education" has been overlooked but is a workable, comprehensive approach to addressing crime. As used in this book, community education is a philosophy, process, and program comprised of three overriding and interrelated elements: community empowerment, community problem-solving, and the effort to involve all community members in the pursuit of lifelong learning. The Hyde Park neighborhood in St. Louis has one of the highest rates of reported drug sales and high rates of homicide, robbery, aggravated assault, arson, and burglary. The community lays claim to several crime-inducing variables including population loss, a high percentage of population shift resulting in a higher percentage of black population and boarded-up housing units, a high rate of unemployment, a very low per capita income and a high percentage of citizens living below the poverty line, and a high percentage of female-headed households. Nevertheless, the people of Hyde Park are participating in a crime prevention approach that is applicable to all communities. Insights to urban life and problem solving are provided by community members, covering such topics as policing and how it can be improved. These insights and others offered by the author are supported by theories and philosophies found in the literature. In the process of solving their own problems, community members involve themselves in lifelong learning activities and leadership development. Written in a style that is appealing to the general public as well as academics, it is of special interest to educators, community leaders, criminologists, academics in urban affairs and sociology, social workers, law enforcement agents, and politicians.
Book Description
It's hard to imagine something bad happening in your neighborhood. After all, home is where you feel safest! This book teaches young readers how to keep their neighborhood a safe place and what to do if that safety is compromised.

Not Just For "Real" Farmers.......2006-03-07
A real bargain at the price!
Although this is a serious book about farmland, it is not just for the "big guys" or "real" farmers. It is a great book for anyone who has some land and wants to know how it can be evaluated and best used for continued productivity and sustainability. A little heavy going at times, but still a valuable look at the need for conservation of farmland and topsoil by everyone who owns a square yard of ground. Also still one of the most compelling written. It woke me up when I read it after it was first published, and in fact made me decide to take on and rehabilitate an abused piece of farmland, and later to go into organic farming as well as gardening.
