Summary: Best book for NYC co-op advice
Comment: When my fiance and I started looking to buy in NYC, this was the only book we could find that was specific enough to be really useful. NYC real estate is extremely unique and I found most books to be frustrating at times because the advice would be focused on buying a home everywhere else in the country. The author intertwines her advice with lots of personal anecdotes which I found made it easier and more entertaining to read. What we found most helpful was the part on what to expect during the buying process. As co-op newbies, we'll keep this one on the shelf as we become members as well. Great information!
Rating: 1
Summary: too wordy
Comment: I found this book much to wordy to actually be helpful. It seems like the author was more interested in being witty and cracking jokes than in providing cold, hard facts. Although some of the stories are entertaining, I would have welcomed something with a more serious and mature tone. I found myself skimming through most of the anecdotes, in an effort to get to the real information.

Summary: An Entire and Large Coop Just read this Winner!
Comment: I don't know what we shareholders in a large Manhattan Coop would have possibly done without Sylvia Shapiro's brilliantly written book, "The Coop Bible." One hundred plus owners were carrying this around, reading it as if it was the 'bible' all this past summer.
Even though we comprise over 300 apartments, owned by educated and business wise shareholders, we all needed and imbibed the wisdom, facts and great ideas that Ms Shapiro, head of a Coop Board and a lawyer, gives in this essential book. It is, no exaggeration: head and shoulders above all others in this field.
We are in trouble with our board and with our managers. We would never have been able to mount our "insurrection" without the intelligence throughout this invaluable resource. Her wit and brillance shine through every paragraph. This book, 5 big stars, is something everyone considering buying a condo or coop, or already living in one but unclear as to their rights, should have on their bookshelves.
Ms. Shapiro even makes "home visits" and does so with grace and intelligence. She is as smart and forthright in person as she is in this book. Do buy a copy asap, especially if you live in the wayward ways of Manhattan's buildings which by laws and boards and managers are often not fair nor kosher in relation to the owners. Problems with the above are hard to deconstruct even for the most savvy. She gives great insight, much guidance. Invaluable is the word that springs to mind. 5 Stars!
