Hi , 

I'm looking for some feedback and I'm hoping you can help me out. 

Pasted below is the table of contents for the book I've been working on for...uh, far too long. Truth be told, I've really been dragging my feet on this project and now it's just looming over me like a big scary monster. As they used to say back in the day, I need to "S%#t or get off the pot." (Sorry - you know how crude "they" can be). 

Anyhow, that's where you come in. Would you take a look at my outline and tell me: yes, you would read the book or no, you would not read the book? All you have to do is click the link for yes or no. 

Because you are a loyal subscriber and someone who works with nonprofits, I value your opinion. And, if you've got an extra minute or two, I welcome your comments or suggestions - just reply to this message. Here it is:
