Great basic internet book for and about nonprofits

Overall Review: Recommended for all nonprofit organizations and others who deal with nonprofit clients. Zeff's book was non-technical and easy to read, but in addition to providing basic internet information, it offers compelling reasons and guidelines for nonprofit organizations to utilize the internet to increase awareness, memberships, and fundraising efforts (cyberfundraising). For those who want to review other nonprofit websites, Zeff provides many examples and illustrations of several organizations. Nonprofit and resource web addresses are also listed throughout the book. The Nonprofit Guide to the Internet is a good starter book for anyone interested in developing, improving, or learning more about nonprofit websites and its functions. It would be particularly informative for current nonprofit professionals who are new to the internet. The only shortcoming I think the book has is that the price ($34.95 list) does not reflect the page count -- the book was slim in compa
