I'm on the bylaws committee of a non-profit society where we are undertaking a bylaws revision. This book offers some good tips, proper language and even a script outlining how to go about a revision during the meeting of the society. Also, has same for amending bylaws.
This book will be an invaluable help to the committee now as we work through this complicated process and in the future as we may need to amend the bylaws. There is also a section on developing bylaws. We bought one of these books and have since purchased a book for every member on the bylaws committee.

Good book for advanced beginners/borderline intermediate students of parlimentary procedure and bylaws. Very general in scope yet toward the back of the book you'll find small tidbits that are very useful. However, I do wish there were more detailed sections offering examples, suggestions and maybe some case studies on how small organizations on finances. Overall, I was pleased with the book.

June 2004, the copy I received had no problems. June 14, 2004
29 out of 30 found this review helpful

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.

Missing pages, poorly printed, pages out of order. May 31, 2002
15 out of 22 found this review helpful

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.
