1.0 out of 5 stars NOT WORTH THE PRICE, January 15, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Finding an Apartment (Schwartz, Stuart, Life Skills.) (Library Binding)

This book is definetly NOT worth $21. It's a very skinny book that's only 29 pages long. Actually, it's 17 pages of written material (with about a 14 size font on a 6 x 8 1/2" page) and 12 pages of full-length photographs, so there's not much material covered. The language seems geared toward a very young audience, say 4th or 5th graders, or those who need definitions of words like "apartment manager" and "lease". There's even a page in the back that gives pronunciations for these words. The information given is very broad, so those looking for more in-depth coverage of apartment searching (like what types of questions to ask an apartment manager before buying or common pitfalls to avoid) will have to look elsewhere. For questions like that, I recommend instead the book "Graduate".

5.0 out of 5 stars Very informative., September 29, 1999

By A Customer

I found Finding an Apartment a very informative book. Each chapter covers a different topic. The back contains a lot of very good and useful information. I would recommend this book for students in grades 5, 6, and 7, as well as the teachers.
