"As someone interested in grant writing, I found this to be a valuable and informative monograph that every librarian or library interested in grant funding should own. While the selected grantor profiles are an informative and valuable resource, this work is extremely important because it provides cross listing indexes. Readers can browse alphabetically by grantor title, by grant title, by state, and by monetary allotments. This allows the published work to be extremely flexible and easy to use."
