1.0 out of 5 stars DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK!!!, Jun 18 2004

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.

First of all, I don't think that this item deserves to be called a book, because this less-than-one-hour-reading is more like a pamphlet, with 25 ideas meant to help you to become better at fundraising. The problem is that these ideas are not new and most of them have been used by anyone, except for two or three of these which seemed a bit more interesting. Apart from that, it is 90% directed to political campaigns and it's almost completely useless for any charity or non-profit organization. Generally, these ideas are not very useful anyway and all these positive reviews here really make me think that they've been written either by the authors themselves or by someone who actually has no clue about fundraising at all. I consider that this "book"'s price is too high for what you get, so you better keep looking for something better and more substantial.

If ideas are what campaigns are all about this book will certainly provide 25 great ideas to aid any fundraising campaign of any kind. The book is packed with powerful language framed in short, descriptive doses. All you need to run a successful fundraising campaign--whether it be for political or non-profit purposes, is right here. Highly recommended.

This book is very heavily geared towards political campaign fundraising, even though it says it applies to everyone. Lisez davantage
