“TO B&B or NOT To B&B”

HOW TO OPEN AND OPERATE A SUCCESSFUL BED AND BREAKFAST

E-BOOK EDITION - Revised 2012

Our book is no longer published in a print edition. The majority of our orders over the past few years have been for our Ebook so we have decided to only sell that version. This is an advantage for you as we can and will constantly upgrade the book as we have just done.

We are able to sell the book at an initial lower price and there is no shipping cost. If you like to read books on paper, print out the 176 pages and put them in a loose leaf or get them coil bound at Staples. Order below and we will email the book to you in Adobe with the password to download.

$18.00 CDN - 221 pages (spaced wider for easier online reading). The E-Book is ideal for overseas orders as there are no shipping costs.

After we receive an order we will email the book to you with a password to download it. You will need Adobe Acrobat Reader.

One of the most complete books you can read on how to open a Bed and Breakfast. Written by B&B operators who have opened four successful Bed and Breakfasts over the 13 years they have been in the business. It is full of the information you will need in every stage of your B&B operation from opening to full operation.

The Book is not only a practical and complete hands-on guide to setting up a B&B and the day-to-day operation but is an examination of what is involved and who is particularly well suited to it. Mixed in with the 'know how' are many interesting and amusing stories of B&B from our own experiences over the past 13 years of operating one, which are lessons in themselves.

The Internet has created a revolution for B&B marketing. Operators using the Internet to actively market their B&Bs are now getting 80 to 90 percent of their bookings from this source. The book has extensive up-to-date information on how to utilize this marketing tool.

We have been asked if our book is a strictly Canadian reference - of course, the answer is 'no'. Hospitality knows no boundaries! Although there is some specific Canadian content, particularly details on Canada Select Star Rating and British Columbia Approval, the rest of our book is international in scope. Most states and countries have similar approval regulations and the detailed Canadian information will give readers in other countries an idea of what is or may be required in their area. We are very proud that we have shipped our book to 23 different countries and have had some wonderful comments from our readers.

BOOK REVIEWS

"This book is a smart place to begin marketing your B&B on the Internet. Its information about developing and marketing your B&B's Web site is clear, concise and accurate. Bruce and Mary really make it easy." - Trent Blizzard, Blizzard Internet Marketing

"We were a little surprised to read Bruce and Mary's book, as it is exactly the book we had wanted to write ourselves! After our few years' experience, it is easy to see they have it all covered, and no one should dream of starting in this business till they've read it cover to cover. It's a thoroughly enjoyable read, besides, and an excellent refresher for the rest of us." -- Roger & Jim, formerly owners of Toronto Downtown Bed & Breakfast and Moderators of Canada BB Hosts.

"As a former B&B owner myself and a 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, informative, funny and very useful. I recommended it to my students." Elsa Peterson, formerly of Dickens Inn B&B.
