What are some useful books about nonprofits?
Summary:
Listings of various publications suggested by readers.
Answer:
The American Association of University Presses has a moderated listing of publications by members on nonprofit topics (prepared originally by Prof Mark Sidel of the University of Iowa College of Law). See http://www.aaupnet.org/news/bfu/nonprofit/list.html
The major online booksellers have incorporated quite sophisticated search tools into their websites; it is easy to find extensive lists of materials about nonprofits (and more specialized topics) by using them. Or, for a list of recent nonprofit "best sellers" at Amazon.Com, see the link in http://www.nonprofits.org/npofaq/19/11.html
Note: The Bibliography at the NONPROFIT FAQ has grown too large to
be handled by our editing database software, so it has been divided into
three parts. Not very many new publications have been added to this extensive list, so the links above (and elsewhere in this area of the FAQ) may give more current references.
- For authors with last names starting with A through H
- see
http://www.nonprofits.org/npofaq/0/1548.html
- For authors with last names starting with I through R

http://www.nonprofits.org/npofaq/0/1549.html
- For authors with last names starting with S through Z
- see
http://www.nonprofits.org/npofaq/0/1550.html
NOTE: Suggestions of other useful and interesting printed
materials are,
of course, very welcome. Please use the feedback service linked from the top of the yellow panel to the right. The best sort of listings are brief
and
yet give the full publication information, including price if
possible,
and a capsule description of contents.
