outstanding information but so many typos that I got distracted very often. needs to be heavily edited and then could be a 5-star book

The most complete collection of tips for travel agents. We have the greatest job in the world, and Dan Chappelle is the expected author ”that speaks our language.” He really describes precisely our struggles and the particularities of our job.

Disappointing and Disjointed**

I picked up "Get Your S.H.I.P. Together!" with high hopes, given its intriguing title and promising premise. Unfortunately, the book fell short of my expectations. While the initial chapters offered some useful insights, the content quickly became repetitive and lacked depth. The author’s anecdotes often felt disjointed and didn’t tie back to the main points effectively. By the time I reached the 75% mark, I found myself struggling to stay engaged and ultimately abandoned it. If you’re looking for actionable advice and cohesive storytelling, you might want to look elsewhere.

It was a great read and I was pleasantly surprised to learn that he is a former Southwestern bookman from the University of Georgia.
