The right book for the begginers in B&B business
It is a right book to read especially before you are thinking to open a B&B. I intend to open an B&B in Europe during this year and this book really helped me to understand how to start and how to run a B&B. I am really looking forward to implement the ideas, tips and advices from this book.

Very informative
My wife and I recently purchased a B&B in California. Before making the leap, we researched the industry as best as we could, and we bought every book on the subject from Amazon. I can say that this book was extremely informative and helpful. Nice job. Another book that I feel is a must read before anyone goes into this business is Michele Cozzens' I'm Living Your Dream Life: The Story of a Northwoods Resort Owner

Very informative
Before I went into the business, I read this one and "I'm Living Your Dream Life" by Michele Cozzens. Both are very valuable tools.
