Summary: DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK!!!
Review: Probably the best fundraising secret is writing a sham book like this and selling on Amazon.com for $10.99. This is not a book but a pamphlet - if that. With only 73 pages, there is no detail but 25 very obvious fundraising basics. A waste of $10.99 and the 20 minutes it takes to read this junk. Do not buy this book! It is a complete waste of money. Shame on these two idiots Garecht and Barksdale to produce such garbage. Not one original thought.
Seems I have to give at least one star. Such a ranking is a gift.

Summary: SAVE YOUR SAWBUCK!!!
Review: The information in this "Book" (More like a pamphlet) is so shallow and so simplistic that if I were to compare it to a book on weather it would read something like this.... "When it rains, a good way to stay dry is to use an umbrella or, don't go outside."
If you want to help your orginizations fund raising efforts... Send them the [money] you would have spent on this book.

Summary: Super
Review: This book is perfect stepping stone for someone entering the fundraising field. Its short and very easy to read. If you know alot about fundraising this book would probably just re-enforce what you already know but if your just starting out this is the best book you can read!

Summary: Not for everyone
Review: This book is very heavily geared towards political campaign fundraising, even though it says it applies to everyone. In each little chapter, the last paragraph usually says "And this will also apply to non profit organizations", and that's it. Some of the tips you really have to think out of the box to understand how. The authors I'm afraid are not writers, and whoever proofread the book missed quite a few errors. The font is huge and the paragraphs all have 2 spaces between them to make the book look larger, but mostly this makes you feel like you've wasted your money on what should be a pamphlet.In a nutshell, the best fundraising advice would be to put this money towards a more professional book, all of this is pretty much common sense.

Summary: very disappointing
Review: This book should be entitled 25 Common Sense Rules for Dummies. It contains no substance or details. It sounds like a BS paper I wrote in college. If you have even a drop of knowledge about fundraising, this book will be a complete waste of your time and money.

Summary: Very Helpful!!!
Review: This book was very helpful. I've been raising money for political campaigns for years and I even learned some new tricks. This book provides the reader with very practical ways to raise money. This book is short and to the point which I like.

Summary: This is a good book on fundraising.
Review: This is a good book on fundraising. I used this book to help our school start a fundraising drive to collect money to build a new gym. This book gave me a bunch of great ideas on how to do that. I've passed the book around to our teachers and they all have gotten some new ideas to help with the collection drive. This book was a big, big help.
