3.0 out of 5 stars Don't buy both books, February 20, 2004

This review is from: The California Nonprofit Corporation Kit : Binder with CD-Rom (Ring-bound)

Don't buy both "How to Form a Nonprofit Corporation in California, 10th edition" and "The California Nonprofit Corporation Kit, 4th ed." expecting two different books--they contain exactly the same contents, the only difference is the "Kit" comes in a three ring binder.

I am using this for understanding the non-profit corporate requirements in California. I was made the secretary for our corporation for our church. This book is very clear and helpful. The CD rom is a plus with great examples and help.
