This book (the hardcopy) got me through my CFRE test pre-prep.

I cannot recommend it enough of you're going to sit the test. There are questions that are lifted directly from the language in the book.

This is a textbook, so it's not necessarily a scintillating read but it *is* fairly comprehensive on all things fundraising. While created for the American market (which has a few differences around vehicles for giving, tax deductibility and the role of Boards in fundraising), there is much good advice in here.
