I just rented Real Estate Investing for dummies (4th ed) from our library.

We charge a premium rate, but they check in to a bottle of wine and chocolates, get brunch at a local mom and pop place that is fabulous and makes them feel like royalty, and we have tons of recommendations for activities, sights to see, insider tips and tricks, restaurants, and other things in the units such as hiking books, history of the area books, and just a lending library full of books to read in case someone wants to do that during the stay.

You might be able to find some older ones at a library.
