The Hotel and Restaurant Business Sixth Edition Donald E. Lundberg Completely updated to cover current trends and conditions in the hospitality industry, this latest edition of the best-selling text offers an excellent introduction to the industry as well as a wealth of practical, how-to information for anyone entering the field. Based on the author’s more than 30 years of experience in hospitality. The Hotel and Restaurant Business offers comprehensive information on the background and current status of the industry, all presented in an interesting, easy-to-read style. New chapters provide up-to-date information on:
