Carolyn, I am constantly cleaning my bookshelves. They would otherwise overwhelm me. And this college stuff just doesn't age very well. Get it while it's hot!
This book was our bible back when S was first beginning to look at music schools. I knew nothing of Internet discussion boards back then, and we used a combination of this book and various teacher referrals and opinions to figure it all out.
