This book covers a large amount of hospitality information. It is extremely thorough and has very long chapters. It is also very dry and boring, but that's what is to be expected from a textbook. You will learn a lot from it but if you have to read it from front to back like I had to do for my class get ready for some lonnnngggg miserable times! Turn on some music and have some snacks nearby so the reading experience will be a less traumatic for you.

Good
This was the required book for my class.
good product
Very good, comprehensive book. It is well written and it is focused on teaching Hotel management, operations and concepts. It explains some things in a "stubby-pencil" approach (before today's (2014) technology), but this is important because it is foundational to understanding how the transparent "automated" processes work. This is a very refreshingly, good book.
It is not that good, the chapter summaries are pretty short and d not help much when studying for tests
