Why Know-it-all passport is successful; tooting our own horn!

Thanks to people like you, Know-it-all passport’s 7th edition has sold more copies of the guidebook than ever before! What goes into such a guide?

buyclubbFirstly, most people know that to be listed in the guide, the company must be recommended by one of their clients. Once they are recommended, they go into the printed guide free-of-charge. You can be reassured that every address has been endorsed by someone. That is what makes us so content and satisfied with our work.
When we come across a great restaurant, play area, museum, dance class, or creative initiative, we want to tell the world about it! But we stick to the area we know best, Geneva, Vaud, and neighboring France. We live and breathe our area. We want YOU to get to know your area better too.

Secondly, Lisa has always been curious about where she lives. She goes off the beaten path and loves discovering new things. If a new museum opens up, she will take her family; when a new shop opens up, she goes to check it out; when she gave birth to her children, she tried 3 different hospitals instead of sticking to the same one in a quest to try new things! She invites others to do the same especially as living in a country that is not your own, you are obliged to anyway! You might as well do it with a smile.

buyclubcThirdly, thanks to a great team of people who worked diligently on this 7th edition, it was made into something really special: Amy, Ethel, Francesco, Helen, Hilary, Jackie, Jill, John, Kristina, Laura, Selina, Sophia, Sue, and Zuzana (and Jenny for the website). Lisa has realized that she needs others’ advice and opinions to make it better each time. If you have an old copy, then you can be assured that the new one is 60 pages thicker (714 pages now) and at least 70% of the entries have had some change made. Remaining a top quality item at a constant low price has always been part of our ethics, thanks to our advertisers. Please support them by letting them know that you saw their ad in there!

As promised we have just donated another lump sum of money from our profits to the Alzheimer’s Association of Switzerland, thanks to you! If you would also like to make an individual contribution you can click here for the link to their website. Some of you might know that Lisa's mother passed away from the last stages of Alzheimer’s when Know-it-all passport 2011/2012 was being printed. So far with this edition we have sent the Alzheimer’s Association of Switzerland Fr. 4,000.-! Thanks for your support from buying our book.
