Does anyone have the ESPN College Basketball Encyclopedia that came out recently? How is it? Is it worth the $35 price that online stores are selling it for?

It's exactly like ESPN's encyclopedias on SEC football and college football, so if you've glanced through those, you get the exact same thing in the basketball book, except instead of being about football it's about you know, basketball.

How completely unhelpful was that?

Haven't read it, but I am reading the book of basketball by Bill Simmons it is fantastic.

I have it and it is very good. It has scores and boxscores from all of the NCAA Tournament games through last seasons' tourney. It also has each schools best team, best coach, player, etc. It is a very good book. I plan on asking for that Bill Simmons book for Christmas.
