Okay, so for being a book about grant writing that I was required to read for my professional writing capstone class, this is well written and entertaining as well as being informative. Something I certainly wasn't expecting and appreciate that Karsh was able to accomplish.
If you need to read a book about grant writing, I suggest this one. The title is not misleading.

The title says it all. Absolutely phenomenal if you're just starting out in grant writing and want to lay a solid foundation for yourself. I think even more experienced grant writers could learn a lot from this book.

Not very helpful with Canadian grants, both in available resources and appropriate approaches.
