Introduction

"Eight years ago when we elected to open a Bed and Breakfast, we really thought that it would be a piece of cake given our hospitality experience. We had, in other lives, owned stores, restaurants, chartered boats, managed golf and fitness clubs and dealt with staff and the public. We considered ourselves 'people' people. Entertaining prospective customers and clients had been an enjoyable part of our backgrounds; surely, B&B would simply be an extension of this - wouldn't it? Just to be on the safe side we read a couple of 'How To' books on B&B and we felt overtrained. Boy, were we wrong!"
from: To B&B or Not To B&B

"A must read for anyone thinking of entering
the popular and growing Bed and Breakfast field."

The Book - Now available in either in a Print edition or Ebook:

B&Bs should appear to run effortlessly but this façade is only maintained by excellent planning, organization, and careful attention to detail. This is what "To B&B or Not To B&B" is all about. It's a wealth of useful information on all aspects of operating a B&B and is presented in a very readable form.

"I have been looking at your book and I think it's a terrific resource, full of definitive information."
-Pamela Lanier, Lanier Travel Guides

"As a former B&B owner and teacher of B&B seminars in Alberta, I can highly recommend this book to anyone who is thinking of starting a bed and breakfast. Well-written, funny, informative, and very useful. I recommend it to my students."
-Elsa Peterson, formerly of Dicken's Inn B&B
