 NOT AS GOOD AS MRS. STARKEY'S ORIGINAL GUIDE TO PRIVATE SERVICE!! Feb 20, 2009
Mrs. Starkey's Original Guide to Household Management: The Key to Meeting Service Expectations for Private Homes
Mrs. Starkey's Original Guide to Private Service goes into great detail on Household Management and what it Really takes to succeed!! Thats probably why her Starkey International School for Household Managment in Denver, Co. has been successfull for over 29 years!! I'd check her out before i bought anything else!!!

 Butlers & Household Managers Sep 14, 2008
"I just finished reading your book ³Butlers & Household Managers² and found it extremely interesting and very informative. What a wealth of information...you can use this book if you want to become a Butler or just help organize your own home. I will be going out either tonight or tomorrow to purchase 'Hotel Butlers, The Great Service Differentiators.' I just had my second interview for a position as Butler with The Resort at Pelican Hill in Newport Beach. I thought the interview went well. I¹m excited about the opportunity of working at such a prestigious resort and I hope to be brought back soon for my third interview. I¹m looking forward to reading 'Hotel Butlers, The Great Service Differentiators' very much and I¹m sure I will go though your book many times and keep it as a valued reference. Again, I just want to thank you for a great resource
that I will use for many years." M.E.

The most informative and concise book for this topic ever Jun 21, 2006
I loved this book and still refer to in occasionally. I wish more books were written by him and perhaps in a memoir tone so it could be an entertaining version of this one. I've read others that are "behind the scenes" and was quite put off with the arrogance of them. Big accolades to Steven Ferry for writing a practical and inspiring book, I only wish there were more from him!

You don't have to be a butler to love this book! Sep 23, 2005
I am NOT a butler, but I sought this book out on the internet and finally purchased it after thinking I could use it for many years. I was NOT disappointed. It is the best self-help book on the market! This book can help you organize your life on nearly every level. It is an organizers dream book for most of us who have to live without at butler. Yes, I am still in the process of becoming a good household manager, but now I have the advice and skills of my "guide book man".

Simply The Best! Oct 02, 2004
If you are involved in the world of private service, I highly recommend this book as a "must have." Mr. Ferry has gone to great lengths to get it right and the results are contained within the pages of this book.
Mr. Ferry presents us with a history of Butling (and other private service household positions,) and weaves a rich tapestry of service standards, duties, do's and don'ts, professional expectations and numerous other pieces of valuable advice throughout the book.
If you do not have this wonderful resource in your collection my advice is to get it and use it.
