I found this book for me not worth the money. It was very hard to find what you were looking for and I sent it back. If you know nothing about writing grants like me this book is not for you. What I was looking for I did not find in the book and for me it was a waste of money. What I thought it was and what I got were two different things. I would not recommend this book to anyone other than those people who know how to write gratns. I was very disappointed.
