The book was well written and gave solid general advice of being the best man. I did not realize however that the book was the UK edition until after I had recieved it.

3.0 out of 5 stars pretty straight forward but, January 5, 2012

This review is from: Being The Best Man For Dummies (Paperback)

if you are from the states, be careful. This book was primarily written for those who are in the United Kingdom / Europe. A lot of the references are based out of there, and I am from the states. When purchased, the description didn't say anything about a US version vs a UK version.
It would have been more beneficial to have that knowledge before purchasing.

Most of the other examples are pretty decent, but nothing that i couldn't have found online.
