Having consumed several books on the topic, this is an easy to read and useful book with good facts, lists, and questions to ask. It is not as detailed or as comprehensive as others available. Appendix A's sample forms, timelines and documents for planning and evaluating the event and Appendix B's lists of Terms and Phrases are very useful. I think it is good for someone who may wish to plan their own event, but not detailed enough for an individual who wants to become a professional in the industry. Event examples they use are from their professional experience and would not be applicable for one planning a private event. The pictures are in black and white and the detail is not clear. A few excellent color pictures would make a real difference.

This is the best event planning book. It covers all aspects of event planning for gala charity balls etc. and special functions. I flicked through other event planning books and they were mostly about small events such as meetings and parties. This book is comprehensive in covering all aspects of big events.

This is illustrate the steps to organize a event, in a practical way. In this book, you cannot find the theory but the way.

Pros: easy to read (even for beginners), step by step, straight forward, sufficient explaination, simple cases provided for learning

Cons: Seldom theory, not in-depth, bad paper quality

I have worked in the event industry for the last three years and decided to read through this book prior to getting into the industry. After gaining more experience and being apart of both small and large events I can honestly say that this book has a ton of applicable information. I highly recommend this book if you plan on entering the event industry, putting on your own event, or just would like to see how much time, effort, and planning goes into events.

I have bought several copies of this book and all my readers were very impressed with its clarity and interesting information. I would recommend it to anyone who is considering Entertainment and Conference Planning and even someone who needs to know how to plan for special occasions in their families. The authors are brilliant!
