If you are a stag then make sure your best man gets a copy of this - you'll have a much better stag weekend, even if it means more forefeits.

I know that nobody is going to want to buy an encyclopedic database of information to help them prepare for their stag do's, but they shouldn't be patronized with annorexicly thin content either. The book itself is oversized for a 'handbook', something MX Publishing has compensated for by double spacing and size 500 fonts. I also object to the fact that a guy who just so happens to work in publishing thinks he's in a position to tell others how to plan their stag nights on the premise he's been invited out to a few himself. I eat out at restaurants, but I wouldn't call myself a chef - nor would I try advising people how to prepare a meal.
On the first page or so of the book, there's a line that reads (paraphrased) "the first edition of this book published in 2003 was difficult to research because there was no such thing as broadband". Which is true, apart from the fact that it's clearly not (2001 was when broadband became widely available in the UK). His attempts at humour lack wit or originality and the only benefit anyone could have from reading this book is the contact information for some activity centres around the UK. All of which you can google yourself anyway.
For those of you looking for a book worth reading on stag party organisation, this is not the answer. The useful information in it can be obtained for free by doing a websearch and Steve Emecz is clearly just trying to tap in to a niche market that's otherwise poorly represented in literature.

In fairness, I expected little from a book with two bland endorsements from FHM and Maxim on the cover. This book was very disappointing, offering no new ideas for the best-man-to-be. In fact, it's just money (£[]!)for old rope. I find it hard to see (with the exception of some info regarding airlines and packages) how this book could have differed at all from the previous editions.
Of the so-called "Top Tips" (page 64), my favourite reads as follows: "If its (sic) an activity weekend then put a slab of chilled beers in the boot of the car/minibus ready for the end of the day - after all the fun you will achieve hero status." Genius.
The directory of "Lap-Dancing-Clubs" (page 43) consists solely of Spearmint Rhino, Stringfellows and Secrets (just in case your name is Rip van Winkle and you are on your way down from the mountain). There are also just three drinking games listed (page 51): I'm not sure that's going to get you much further than the Friday afternoon.
Steve Emecz (or indeed anyone at MX Publishing) clearly has no grasp of basic punctuation, other than an obsession with hyphens, as in "Especially - if your stag is an adrenalin junkie" (page 81) and page 43's entry (above).
I will be returning this book to Amazon. Marginally better is 'The Alternative Stag' by Genna Hayman and Kirstie Rowson.
