The Event Manager's Bible: 3rd edition: The Complete Guide to Planning and Organising a Voluntary or Public Event Paperback – 24 April 2009

Excellent resource

This was a well thought-out guide to events which ensures you "think of it all" when planning an event and the actions you will need to take. I would have given 5 stars however I found some sections showing its age and in need for a serious update (i.e chapters where "cash" is mentioned, most events I have been too are cashless in this day and age). I do believe there are other books which will better cater to event ideas and how to stand out from the crowd if that is what you are looking for.

I lov this book in and out. It is a fantastic read and has helped my small event become better in many ways. It includes little details that you might miss out and I love it. Thank you for such a good book!

Very thorough and totally practical. It is quite obvious this has been written by someone with experience. You can run any event from a birthday party to a traction engine show with this guide (check the strength of the bridges the traction engines will have to drive over to get to your fair). You could safely start your own events business with all the information in this book, knowing every angle is covered. If you are unemployed or sick of your job get a DBS check for yourself. Then use this book to start a business organising local rich kids birthday parties--or a car boot sale! Borrow a library book on self-employment/tax etc and you are away! Good luck.

Book is great but the delivery was rubbish. Parcel had to be put into a bag by an post as the box was damaged and was two weeks late

I had absolutley no idea about how to plan an event and what was involved.It seems that the author has drawn on a lot of experience in writing it and I thought it was excellent. In a short space of time I had a good idea of what would be required in planning an event.

Needed this for a course. Good content and logical structure to planning an event.

Great book, lots of good tips and hints and handy reminders
