Publisher Description
An MBA is a big investment of both your time and money. Whatever your use for the MBA, this guide will talk you through the things you need to consider before applying to a programme. At The Economist's Which MBA? division, we still think an MBA is a good bet. And there is much you can do to skew the odds of getting in to your favour. As in any business decision, the key is to prepare thoroughly. We can’t tell you which MBA programme is best for you. But with this guide, our goal is to help you to decide for yourself which one is.

Don’t buy...
I have the real book from 2006, is the same text, but doesn’t have any comparative between the programmes, and university/colleges.
Basic, sloppy, not worth $3
For something published by the Economist, I expected a lot more. Very basic information, probably little in this "guide" that someone considering an MBA wouldn't already know. In fact, better and more detailed information can readily be found, for free, on the Economist's website. And the editing, if there was any, was especially poor. An odd addiction to some words (I hadn't realized it was possible to use the word "daunted" in so many places), misspelled acronyms (TOFEL?), and the general feel that this was something thrown together with little thought.
Very basic
Given this is an economist publication, I expected detailed analysis of the cost-benefit of the MBA with plenty of hard data. Instead there was a cursory note that graduate salaries haven't kept pace with tuition - ok, but can you tell me what the long term income distribution looks like?? Do not recommend this.
