My personal opinion is “no”. I bought it thinking it would have information on the various programs, but it did not. Most of it was various rankings. While it is helpful to have an idea of well regarded Arch programs (both undergrad and grad), the purchase price was overpriced for what was contained therein. Those lists could be shared quite simply and have the same effect. It is more like a “booklet” than a book. I recall it costing about 40 bucks. That is a lot to get a list of schools. There wasn’t any information about them and I had assumed it would be like a college directory specific to arch schools, but it wasn’t.
