About our book The Savoy, London

I finally tracked down a copy of your out of print book on the Savoy Hotel London.... I found it in a second hand dealer in new york. I must say it is one of the most interesting,informative and entertaining books in the series. ... loved the outline of the 'america bar' its orign and history is amazing...made me go and buy the cocktail book. 
... what a charming tale of 'kaspar' the wooden cat who makes up number 14 at a table...nice to see that history and nostalgia is being maintained.
... I'd already read alot about the famous cesar ritz but to discover he was actually dismissed from the Savoy for mis-management and neglect was truly amazin... then there was the equally famous chef Auguste Escoffier who also was dismissed for fraud/corruption and mis-management
...very informative ... a truly amazing book...as always thanks for the memories.

Thank you for a wonderful book about the Grand Hotel Royal in Budapest! Me and my husband enjoyed our stay in one of the suites in late October! The book really added up to our full experience of coming home to old central Europe...
I will be sure to join you for news, and looking forward to inspiration to

'A wonderful informative souvenier'T. J. Forrext (Pafos, Cyprus)

'I really enjoy the way your books tell an era of the history of the cities through the history of the hotels.  You have a great storytelling style in your writing.  It is as if I were listening to you, over drinks in the lobby bar. Your books help fill in the blanks in the  history for me.  I appreciate that they aren't just big hotel sales brochures or fluffy junk history.' A.R. USA

About our book Hotel Metropole Hanoi

Dear Mr. Augustin,
With great pleasure I've read the book about the Sofitel Metropole hotel in Hanoi, which I've bought in the hotel during our stay (me and my husband)
last August. We visited Vietnam for the first time. The hotel made our holiday worthwhile. Included in the book was a postcard which I could sent
in but this card is very nice that I want to keep it for memories. I hope I can create a free membership via this route.

Dear Sir or Madame,
I recently stayed a wonderful week at the Metropole in Hanoi. It was a fabulous hotel. The service was extraordinary and the ambiance was perfect.
I purchased the book "Sofitel Metropole Hanoi" at the hotel. It's a nice book and enhanced my enjoyment and understanding of the hotel. I read the whole book while in Hanoi. I still love the book and am contemplating purchasing the leather bound edition. Please let me know if my correction is in error.
Sincerely,
Jeffrey Klose
