5.0 out of 5 stars Homeowner Associations, July 30, 2006

By	Lonna Lindmark "Bookworm" (Marysville, WA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The book has been very informative. As Secretary of a Homeowners Association I found information about committees and how to run our Association very useful. I would recommend this book to any Homeowner and member of the board of an association because it will help you to understand the importance of having a Homeowners Association and how important it is to participate in the management of the community in which you live.
