Retirement in a College Town, 2006-03-08
There was some good information but the book was not as useful as I had hoped. The maps were not useful at all and the regional breakdown was strange.

Choosing a college town for retirement, 2005-09-21
Very informative. A lot of very useful information for each town that let's you "comparative shop" each town against the others.
There could be another 20-30 college towns included for completeness.
The book is set up well in a good order.

Stop Being Such A Crab!, 2005-08-30
This is great book! It covers the whole country evenly. It's well-rounded, lively, and has a unique point-of-view: college towns!

Every time I look for a good places-to-retire book, virtually every one is picked apart by a bunch of crabs! There's not a single book of this type on Amazon with 4, 4 1/2 or 5 stars! Give me a break! If you can do a better job, write a book on places to retire, yourself!

Voting with the Majority, 2004-11-29
This book might be of good use to a person with no idea of what college and university towns exist in the United States. But despite the great pains the author takes in the introductory chapter to tell us how many miles he traveled in researching it, for anyone -- like me -- who has looked into the subject a little Choose a College Town will feel slim and superficial, with a decided tilt toward the places -- Santa Cruz and Bennington, VT, e.g -- that the author already knows well. I could also do without the cutesy (?) borrowing of obvious 60's song titles for chapter sub-heads. Exam this in-store before buying.

An Excellent Resource, 2003-10-15
I found this to be an excellent, useful, and delightfully readable guide. Lubow has selected college towns throughout the country that he considers especially appealing candidates for retirement and profiles each in a thorough and thoughtful way. His writing style is clear, unpretentious, personal, and honest. This book is both useful and fun to read. Highly recommended.
