Useless for flyover country and average Joes, no update between editions.
The product is good, but only for what it does. It is only the power-elite (Ivy League and other high priced/high power privates) + most of the major schools with football teams + a lot of small privates. But for you average Joe in the Midwest who might be considering a smaller state U (any school in North Dakota or South Dakota, etc.) you are out of luck. Of the couple dozen schools on our list, only a couple (U of MN, U of W) were included among the schools in the book.
Finally, I got the 2010 version from the library and could tell no discernable difference from the 2020 (Which actually appears to have been pirated).
