Allen Ezell's book "Accreditation Mills" is out

AACRAO has just published Accreditation Mills, and will begin selling it at their national convention in Boston next week. I haven't seen the book yet (I saw a much-different early draft months ago), but here's what the AACRAO website says. AACRAO's books seem awfully expensive to me. I guess most of their sales are to libraries and institutions.

Accreditation Mills
$70 nonmember/$50 member; 2007; Item #0115
AACRAO's newest book, Accreditation Mills, is the first publication of its kind to explore the growing influence and threat of accreditation fraud. The author, Allen Ezell, a previous contributor to Guide to Bogus Institutions and Documents and co-author of Degree Mills, uses his expertise and experiences as an FBI agent to create a comprehensive guide that will prepare you to recognize and expose bogus mills. The book gives a historical perspective of the problem, explores the relationship between degree mills and accreditation mills, and defines tactics used by mills to deceive the public. Accreditation Mills not only cites case-studies, and undercover operations, but also gives detailed examples of how individuals and groups have made a positive stand in the fight against degree mills and accreditation mills. Appendices, including a valuable list of state and federal authorities and specific names of false accreditors, can be utilized to protect institutions from becoming victims of fraud.

I had not heard about his book, but sorely needed, particularly with people/colleges which are members of ACCRAO.

For 70 bucks it better come with a diploma.
