Proposal Planning & Writing is my favorite grant-seeking reference guidebook; my personal copy is dog-eared with colorful post-its marking my 'go-to' passages, especially the 'Time-Saver Tips, ' that I share with library members. I have even dumpster dived to retrieve my copy when the cleaning crew accidentally threw it out. Now, there's a testimonial for you! -Sharon S. Ball, Grants Coordinator and School/Youth Liaison, North Suburban Library System
