Bylaws: Writing Amending Revising

Rating:
Summary: Missing pages, poorly printed, pages out of order.
Review: The copy I received was missing pages. One page had the print running off one side, as a document might appear if it had been misfed through a photocopier. In another place, page 23 followed page 21, which was then followed by page 22. The quantity of sample language was a disappointment.

Summary: June 2004, the copy I received had no problems.
Review: The margins, pages, etc, were just fine in the copy I received in June 2004. This is an easy to read book that gives a good overview of what is required to write bylaws. If you are starting a new organizaiton, or re-writing the bylaws for one, I suggest that you get this book and "Robert's Rules of Order Newly Revised, 10th Edition" (a.k.a. "RONR"). I myself also bought the Idiot's Guide to Robert's Rules; it seems very useful, but I haven't had time to use it much yet. RONR has the technical rules needed to run an organization's meetings, and Bylaws will tell you how to set up the rest of the organization's structure. (If you're a multi-million dollar company or organization, you should obviously hire professionals to write your Bylaws. But even then, this book will help you as an individual better understand the Bylaws that they write and how to use them effectively.) I recommend Bylaws.
