The nitty gritty of running the shop.
This book goes room by room into decorating, supplies needed, rules, safety, and the likes which really helps when you are running a B&B. IT failed to really go into depth about the business aspects which I thought was a shame. This book is great if you are already running a B&B or want to decorate your house like one, but I would suggest buying several other B&B books to help give the complete picture. It also include recipies which was an added bonus. A good book for the right need.

Well-Written, Easy Read
This book is a good introduction to the Bed & Breakfast business; I'm glad I read it first. It contains useful information and the tone is pleasant and light. But it is just a little dated (almost 10 years old), and you need to read several more books to get all the information you need (such as The Complete Idiot's Guide. . .)

A wonderful cookbook & B&B guide
This is both a wonderful cookbook & a great reference on American B&B's. It contains over 300 recipes. It is printed on glossy stock with many full-color photos & b/w illustration of the B&Bs.A wide variety of recipes include beverages, cereals, pancakes, waffles, French toast, vegetables, egg dishes, breads, coffee cakes, pastries, jellies, sauces, sandwiches, sweets & breakfast meats. The chocolate waffles, apple French toast with cream cheese, & sour cream raisin pie are all divine. An easier to make cheese souffle is another favorite. I also loved the orange julius beverage & lobster quiche.Each recipe is accompanied by description of the B&B with contact information. B&Bs are also listed in the index & by state in the back. Reservation agencies & a list of other guidebooks are included as well.

Marvelous Buy!
This is a high quality paperback, 8x11, glossy paper and beautiful photographs. The book is recipe oriented with a bio and sometimes a picture of the B&B where the recipe originated.For those of you who like brunch entertaining, this is a treasure trove. I confess brunch is my absolute favorite way of entertaining guests for all the usual reasons. It is easy to assemble, relaxed and not much work. Oh yes, did I say "not much work?"The recipes are not for the calorie counters nor cholesterol impaired. This is not a drawback, as planning a brunch menu can always include some items for all appetites. A simple recipe that was much praised is from the Big Horn Mountain B&B, Big Horn, WY (edited - serves 4, but no problem doubling or tripling) Creamy Scrambled Eggs 8 eggs, ½ Cup milk, 2T butter, 8 oz. cream cheese cut in ½" cubes, 1T fresh chives, 1t chopped fresh parsleyMelt butter in lightly oiled skillet. Beat together everything except cheese and parsley...

Paperback is nice
I bought the paperback, surprised by the low price, and was pleased that it's large (8 1/2 x 11) and full of color pictures of both the food and the B&B rooms: it must be just like the hardback except for the cover. A great value, even if nutrition data (calories, fat, etc.) are not included and it's slightly dated (1991). Can't wait to try the recipes - they look great.
