3.0 out of 5 stars Out of touch with middle America, February 26, 2001

James Thrasher (Columbus, OH USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: How to Manage a Successful Bar (Paperback)
If you wish to travel to Europe and make a living in the bar industry, or you have a time machine and want to operate an establishment in the 1940's United States, this book would be fine. Many concepts and notions feel dated, and I was left with the notion that Americans are viewed with disdain, far too immature and lacking in class to appreciate English pubs or French cafe's that haven't changed in 100 years. To be fair, there are many facts and ideas that are worth reviewing contained within, but I feel I was better served by titles written by Roy S. Alonzo or Bruce Fier. In my opinion, Mr. Egerton-Thomas is thoroughly convinced that the European way is the best way, and this is clearly reflected in his writing. Perhaps this book would be better entitled, "How To Manage a Successful Snooty English Bar".
