"Best 366 Colleges" is one of 200 Princeton Review books published by Random House. Eight schools were added to the book this year, which includes two-page profiles on the schools and ranking lists. The book was first published in 1992 and no school has ever paid a fee to be in it.

The Princeton Review survey asks students 80 questions about their school's academics, administration, campus life, student body, and themselves. Tallies for this edition's rankings are based on surveys of 120,000 students (about 325 per campus) at the 366 schools in the book (not at all schools nationwide) during the 2006-07 and / or previous two school years. Ninety percent were completed online at http://survey.review.com/. Ten percent were paper surveys conducted on campuses. The schools in the book are not ranked academically nor are they ranked 1 to 366 in any category.

Features of the Roadmap include changes to the SAT, tips on using the Internet in the college admissions process, and researching what college admissions officers look for in prospective students.
