Customer Review: Princeton Review and Random House both goofed with the 2008 edition: My copy of this book is missing pages, some are printed twice and some pages are out of sequence.

Customer Review: This book is fine for people who have never heard of a 529 plan. However, for people who would like to compare 529 plans in order to choose the best investment vehicle for college savings will be sadly disappointed.

My advice would be to apply for the College/University scholarships offered at their web site or in their catalog. Save your... more info
Customer Review: After my baby was born, I knew I wanted to save for her college. I read this book and another 529 book. This book was the best. It walked me through the college savings process, explained how to get college financing, and listed all the 529 companies to go with for each state. It decussed tax issues... more info
