How to Run a Stately Home (Import)

About this book

If anyone knows how to run a "stately home" it is the Duke of Bedford whose Woburn Abbey gives pleasure in some 1 200 00 people a year. Those planning to open their own home to the public would be foolish not to study this book first and all readers will be entertained by the Dukes tips and revelations which can be as disconcerting as they are fascinating. Together with George Mikes he has made a close study of the motives and behaviour of visitors to stately homes and holds up a mirror to them as they flock though the gates.
