Review
The Condominium Bluebook is the best book I've found on how homeowner associations work. The first chapter that explains all the laws that regulate condos is as readable as it is comprehensive. The checklists on how to run a good meeting are great. In fact, every board member brings his copy of this book to every meeting. --K. Harris, San Francisco
Before you shell out a lot for an attorney, I'd recommend buying this book. Everything you need is in there. There's no other book like it. --P. Wallis, Sunnyvale

You can't live in a CA Condo without this book,
By Happy Board Member (Los Angeles) - See all my reviews
This review is from: 2008 Condominium Bluebook (Paperback)
This publication is updated every year and provides all the tools necessary to survive on a Homeowner's Board and as an owner of a condominium. It gives samples, clarifies language, and identifies outside resources. There are no problems that can not be addressed by looking up the issue in this book. This is a MUST have.
