    5 out of 5 stars A teacher's best legal friend.......2007-02-23

    I feel that every teacher should consider owning this book for their own background knowledge of what legalities that can effect them in their profession.

    5 out of 5 stars A "Make Sense" Guide For All Educators.......2000-10-30

    The author wrote this book in such a manner that a high school government student could understand the majority of the legal discussion and implications for school leaders.

    Today's educator would be remiss not to read this down to earth text and not pay attention to its contents while working in today's educational environments where one is constantly exposed to being sued.

    The author provides the reader with clear and understandable legal definitions, administrative summaries, landmark cases, and interesting legal situations that have occurred in public schools across the United States.

    Classroom teachers, school principals, superintendents, school board members, and graduate students all come away with a sense of "I will not do that again" after reading this very practical school law guide.

    While the book does not address school integration and school finance issues from a legal stance, it does an excellent job of addressing all other aspects of educational law.

          Fantastic information. Everything you need to know presented in a well thought out format.

          5 out of 5 stars A Good and Practical Book.......2007-05-19

          Hi, I am a Korean who would like to run my own coffee bar in Korea soon. It was very difficult to find really good guide books here in Korea, I mean ,written in Korean. Hoping to find one, I visited this Amazon and to my happiness I fianlly could find it, this book 'Start and Run a Coffee Bar'. This book is so practical and helpful to me. I appreciate that two writers would share their experience and knowledge with us.

          5 out of 5 stars Really Useful.......2007-03-15

          I usually dont write these sorts of reviews but this was just exactly what i was looking for. A great primer on things you need to know and do to open a coffee shop including checklists. I would recommend it to newcommers to the business.

          4 out of 5 stars Applys to other retail businesses.......2006-12-31

          I bought this book several years ago before I knew what type of business I was going to be in. I've now owned a retail store (paint your own pottery) for more than 4 years and looking at this book now, it does have a lot of good information for anyone looking to start and run a retail business with a service aspect. The chapters on business planning, setting up your business, insurance, securing a site, getting to opening, staffing and the last 4-5 chapters on operations all are well-written and applicable to many forms of retail.

          4 out of 5 stars Good information--not as complete as I would like.......2005-09-09

          As a designer, I was looking more for input on equipment layout and functionality. This book gave me a good equipment list to discuss and layout with the client. The local building department loved our plans! The one area where the book falls short is helping to illustrate some good layouts.

          3 out of 5 stars Fairly complete beginners guide.......2002-10-16

          While this book seems fairly complete as a guide, it certainly is for total novices, not only to B&Bs but to those running their own business as well. Much of its information is common business sense in its foundation and offers little that one would not realize on one's own-unless they had never run any sort of business in the past. Even an individual who has operated a business for someone else, especially if that business were in the service industry, would know much of the basics found here. Most obviously lacking is any discussion of the value or how-to of Internet marketing, research, promotions, reservations or purchasing. Secondary to that is a lack is discussion on yield management, rate versus occupancy managment and adapting one's room rates to current occupancy and market room-availability and other market forces. The author also provides no discussion of purchasing principles or the advantages of economies of scale that can be gained with co-oped or group purchasing ventures.

          5 out of 5 stars Describes the business well.......2000-06-18

          Tells the nitty gritty of running the business aspect of a B&B without going into the details of how someone should decorate. With running one so hard it was nice to see the bery clear and well laid plans to help keep an inn running smoothly from taking care of guests to taking care of yourself at the same time. I would recommend this book before someone lays out any money and gets themselves neck deep in trouble from inexperiance.

          5 out of 5 stars excellent and fact filled.......1999-02-06

          I just read a library copy of this book, and now I'm buying my own copy for future reference. It was filled with essential information about innkeeping, and not just for those who want to start a two to three bedroom B&B in their house. Most of the information was applicable to small inns and hotels, as well. It is definitely the best book I've read on the subject so far (out of about six books).

            3 out of 5 stars Not bad, a bit dated.......2005-12-16

            I ordered this book based, in part, on the favorable review. However, it is very dated, though basically good. For example, this is the 3rd edition, and is obviously updated to include the importance of marketing on the internet. However, this conflicts with the strong emphasis in at least two sections on NOT getting a personal computer if you don't have computer experience (how will you answer email inquiries?).

            It would also be helpful to know that most of the things discussed in the way of Market Research can now be found on the internet, yet this isn't even mentioned.

            The CD was unexpected (not mentioned in the description), but a big disappointment. When I discovered it, since there are MANY forms and "surveys" to be filled out in the book, I assumed these would be contained on the CD. That is not the case. The CD contains generic marketing and info forms that are nearly useless. I found myself creating my own electronic forms from the book, which could easily have been included on the CD.

            All that being said, if the reader keeps in mind that the book is a little out of date, the basic info is still very helpful. It provides a very thorough approach to determining the type of inn to consider, potential guests, estimating the season and volume of business, evaluating the competition, etc.

            5 out of 5 stars The B&B Trade.......2001-06-21

            The authors of S&R a Profitable Bed and Breakfast know the in's and out's of the B&B business. As they say in the introduction, "we were blissfully unaware of the many pitfalls and problems we would face." In this book, the authors cover the good and bad in the B&B trade, creating a thorough understanding for those interested in running their own B&B. Topics include: finances, business licenses and inspections, customer service, advertising and promotion, and much more. The "sweet" recipes at the beginning of each chapter, are an added bonus. Also included are worksheets to help you plan your B&B. If you want to open your own B&B and do it right, I recommend you pick up a copy of this book first.

                  4 out of 5 stars Perfect for starting!.......2000-06-19

                  After checking out from the library and reading several books on starting a catering business, this was the one I ended up purchasing. It touched on all the things I felt were helpful to someone in my position: starting catering on a part-time, sideline basis. All the other books I read were focused on someone who wanted to jump headfirst into a full-time catering career. Mr. Erdosh's book was much more helpful, and, I might add, not as technical and an easier read.

                  5 out of 5 stars More than I expected.......2000-02-06

                  New to the business, small-time caterer, this is the best book with the most practical information. I have purchased a couple of other books, this is the best by far. Well worth the money Probably not good for big-time caterers.
