Amazon lists 6,533 results for "college admission books." That includes test guides, college guides, "Teen & Young Adult SAT Study Aids," how to write the college application essay, education workbooks, higher & continuing education and more. So there's plenty to choose from when starting the college process. I keep my own list of books that I've found interesting and useful when thinking, writing and counseling about college admission. They provide context, historical perspective and sometimes just a good surprise. I've listed some volumes here that offer those qualities even if you don't write about college admission for a living. They're not "how to get in books;" instead, they provide some perspective on the whole enterprise, offering a way to come up for air when you're feeling totally consumed by the craziness. It's an idiosyncratic list, I admit, but you may find nuggets of wisdom in any one of them.
