Rating: - Valuable Advice. Nice Price.
This is a very useful book for law novices who are considering starting a not-for-profit organization. The examples are pretty entertaining. I recommend this book to anyone curious about not-for-profit business.
Rating: - Legal Issues for Non-Profit Organizations
Great book covering the legal aspects of non-profits. Not a general book concerning non-profits. Mostly addresses legal issues.
Rating: - Contemplating
Have been interested in starting an advocacy organization. This book is clearly written, appears to be authoritative and comes from a person who seems to care about the field. I finished the book mildly encouraged but with some respect for the complexities involved. Note that this is only about the legal issues of non profits, not "managing" non profits per se.

For example, the advice is given that one can attach a form SS-4 (request for EIN) with the form 1023, and in the form 1023 state "SS-4 attached" when it asks for an SS-4. Wrong. The IRS now requires an EIN be registered prior to submitting a 1023.
