I would like to express my unhappiness with the purchase of the Field Guide for the Experience Economy. I truly enjoyed the original book Experience Economy. As I found it most interessting, I wanted to buy the Field Guide. What a dissappointment! Paying 10 dollars (plus shipping) for a mere brochure that I finished in 3 minutes was not the best purchasing experience I had. The leaflet just was a recap of some items of the book and had very little added value. I urge you not to buy it.

What does a fashion designer think (and then magically see) when they stare at a blank piece of paper? What does a college football scout see (and then instantly believe) while watching a high school athlete. I don't have those answers. They haven't written their own field guides yet. I do have the answer though to how Jim Gilmore and Joe Pine see and think while experiencing anything and everything. With the Field Guide, I get a glimpse into how they think.

And after reading, rereading, dog-earring, high-lighting, underlining, practicing and implementing their tools within the Field Guide, I now see and create experiential offerings in a thorough light. The Experience Economy originally helped me think and discuss; the Field Guide helps me see and do.

The Experience Economy is a book that is rich in models, principles and frameworks. Pine & Gilmore's Field Guide serves as a handy tool to help you identify "best principles" for learning excursions and in "experiencing experiences". The Guide is concise, visual, and leaves you wanting more.

Almost all the things you want to remember after reading the big one; "The Experience Economy".
Good illustrations and it gives you quick repetition, when needed.
