"If you are contemplating going to college, whether you are a good, bad, or indifferent student, All A's All Ways by Dr. Benjamin Bloch is the one book that you absolutely, positively must have.

This book describes, in complete and exacting detail, precisely how to avoid the plethora of problems, pitfalls, and hazards that you will encounter, despite the promises and sweet talk of college recruiters. And if you should, unhappily, fall victim to any of these potential perils, this book will present you with the surest, safest, and least damaging methods to extricate yourself.

Colleges today are beset with a host of difficulties.

• Their costs, which are passed on to you, continue to escalate.
• Full-time faculty are increasingly preoccupied with their own research, the only sure route to obtaining tenure and getting promoted.
• In many colleges, adjunct faculty, for whom teaching is frequently just another job, teach more than half of all courses.
• Even worse are courses assigned to teaching assistants, who are invariably overworked and deeply distracted by their own studies, and who will not be rewarded in any way for doing a good job.

These are the conditions that you as a student will encounter, and All A's All Ways will enable you to overcome them.

The cost of this book will be the best investment that you can make in your future."

"All A's All Ways is an eclectic mix of pragmatic advice, philosophical concepts and mathematical insight that should be read by all students (and their parents) as they prepare to leave high school.  

The advice will help them apply and get accepted to the right college, the philosophy will help them deal with what they find there, and the mathematics will help remove some of their fears on this very important subject.   

Plus, it's a very enjoyable read, written with wit and caring by a man who has led quite an interesting and valuable life.  

I wish this book had been available last year, as I have just sent three of my children to various colleges, joining the one who is a senior and another child who graduated several years ago.  This book would've made the process a lot easier.  

However, it's not too late, as I've already applied several of the lessons for what a student should do during the first semester; specifically, arriving early to choose the best bunk and how many credits she should take.  I can't wait for the book to be published so that my children can read it and benefit from the self assessment section and the lessons on how to deal with other people.

This is a wonderful book."
