Customer Reviews

A book of worksheets...
This book does NOT teach you how to organize an event. It is less than 55 pages (big print and mostly forms). This event planner does not agree with the author's advice to write your goal statement at the very end of the planning process. I believe the purpose statement and objectives shape how your meeting or event is organized.

While this booklet does have a number of forms/worksheets you can photocopy and use, they are not very detail oriented and their small size makes them impractical for use in your actual event notebook (you'll most likely want to recreate them on your computer). There may be better resources available but because this booklet is offered for (...), you should get at least that amount of value from it.

This book sucks!
You know I bought this book because I mistakingly saw the Amazon reviews..but what I read was the published reviews (which must get a kiok back or something). Anyone, and I mean, ANYONE could write this book, because there is NO WRITING. It's a book of forms, lame ones at that. Like a To Do List? Date - What to do - Who do you need help to Get it Done - Done checkmark.

Wow! That was deeeeeep insight.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY. Go out to lunch instead and spend the $6-$8. I would rate this book a zero star if I could.

Professional Planners BEWARE
I was highly disappointed in this book. This is hardly an event planners tool kit. I have no idea where my book is to date. Professionals back away. Amateurs there are other books worth your purchase. Save your money.
