Good Guide,

A good book to start reading about this activity. A good guide in general but needs to be complemented with other reading material.

A Strip of Bacon,
By Lisa L. Copeland - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Start Your Own Concierge Business (Start Your Own Personal Concierge Business) (Paperback)
I was very disappointed in the content of this book. I was expecting meat and only got a strip of bacon. I already knew all the fluff stated in the book. I was looking for How to set up vendor relationships?, How can I "hold" a suit for my client to 'try on' without having to make a purchase for a couple of days while my client makes a decision? Instead I read 20 of the same statements over and over again (I got the feeling they needed to meet a page quota). Bottom-line: If you are really "green" and don't expect executable information, this book is for you. If you already have your office established and have a couple of clients, but no idea how to set up vendor relationships and what/how to charge, then I suggest you learn by trial and error, then write your own book...I will. But please, put some meat in it.

Only a twit-brain needs this bool,
By Reasonably Wise - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Start Your Own Concierge Business (Start Your Own Personal Concierge Business) (Paperback)
Don't waste your money on this book. I found more useful information looking at concierge websites than I found in this book. Borrow it from your library or buy it at a used book sale.

If you know absolutely nothing about ...,
By Concierge101.com - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Start Your Own Concierge Business (Start Your Own Personal Concierge Business) (Paperback)
...the Concierge profession, this book will be useful to you. It covers the fundamentals of starting your business, but at an 8th, possibly 7th grade level. Doesn't take you much higher than that, either.
