"Starting and Managing a Nonprofit Organization: A Legal Guide is now in its sixth edition (2013). John Wiley & Sons has published all of the editions of this book -- a new edition every four years.

Written in plain English, not "legalese," Starting and Managing a Nonprofit Organization: A Legal Guide, provides essential guidance for those interested in starting nonprofits, as well as valuable advice for leaders of established organizations"--, "Starting and Managing a Nonprofit Organization: A Legal Guide is now in its sixth edition (2013).  John Wiley & Sons has published all of the editions of this book – a new edition every four years.
