 Valuable content, but extremely verbose, 2008-08-31
This book is full of useful information and ideas. For someone new to HOAs in general, it can be an easy way to adapt to community living. For HOA board members (that's me), it has a lot of great ideas to make building operations and management go more smoothly.
It is not a legal reference, and has some information that may not be so useful in your state. This is not a criticism; states change this stuff all the time, and no two states have the same laws regarding condominiums as far as I know. You should read your state's regulations for yourself.
My one criticism of this book is that the valuable content is about 20-30% of the book. The rest is filler, fluff, repetition, etcetera. If you need that kind of writing to get the concepts, absolutely buy this book. Otherwise, give this to an anal-retentive neighbor to highlight the good parts for you. It will save you a lot of time.

Great Book - a "must have" for any HOA (board member or homeowner), 2008-04-19
I am also a in a fledgeling HOA that is going through some severe growing pains. This book has provided much sound advice. It not only deals with resolving common problems facing HOA boards and homeowners, it also gives proactive strategies on how to avoid future "HOA landmines." Very easy to read. Full of practical suggestions. A great textbook for people new to the concept of HOAs.

A wealth of knowledge - a must Read, 2007-11-24
This book has truly helped me to understand what an effective Board of Directors of a homeowners association should be like. I have always felt that a Homeowners Association should be operated as a business and this book really brings this point home. This is a must have book for anyone wanting to participate in running for the Board of Directors. It helps you to know how to handle most situations that can arise in a community run by a Home Owner Association. Thanks so much!

You'd think we would get over our schoolyard politics as adults..., 2007-05-06
Unfortunately, many haven't, which is why the advice in this book is rather handy. The homeowners' association I am a part of is a fledgling community I have likened the the original 13 colonies. In spite of all the ankle biting and back-stabbing, our Constitution has held this country together for over 200 years, and it is our duty to the lives given in support of our democracy that we take every opportunity to pay homage. Assuring a safe and secure neighborhood for your family and neighbors is the least that we can do as citizens. This book suggests ways to pull neighbors together for a common cause and what each participant could do to improve the quality of a community. How Dr. Coleman reveals the nuances of homeowners' associations was an eye-opener for me. If you want to learn the basics and how to become a more astute member of a homeowners' association, this is a good start.
