1.0 out of 5 stars
Don't buy this CD,
By S.T. Chalut "Buyer" (Atlanta, GA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: 2006 Guide to Federal Grants and Government Assistance to Small Business: Grants, Loans, Aid, Applications, New Programs, FOIA Records, CFDA, Fully Indexed and Searchable (Two CD-ROM Set) (CD-ROM)
The CD is a total waste of time. It has a series of unrelated files that are almost impossible to organize for reading. There is no centralized organization or search function. Don't bother buying it.

Not what I expected,
By Lindsey "LA" (Cape Cod, MA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: 2006 Guide to Federal Grants and Government Assistance to Small Business: Grants, Loans, Aid, Applications, New Programs, FOIA Records, CFDA, Fully Indexed and Searchable (Two CD-ROM Set) (CD-ROM)
The description the website had did not accuratly portray the product. It was not a book with a CD like I was led to believe. It was just a CD that would not even open on my computer. You had to open each file individually which was not convenient. I probably won't order from Amazon.com again.

Not at all what I expected.,
This review is from: 2006 Guide to Federal Grants and Government Assistance to Small Business: Grants, Loans, Aid, Applications, New Programs, FOIA Records, CFDA, Fully Indexed and Searchable (Two CD-ROM Set) (CD-ROM)
Like another customer, I believed I was purchasing a grant book that came with a CD-Rom and was quite surprised when I received only 1 package. I thought it was a mistake but apparently not. Had I known I would have spent $10 more and bought from another website.
