What a great title! Unfortunately, most of the book has useful but very simplistic tips. There's little effort to come to grips with the realities of home office life.
The BEST part is the section on "the way we were," where the authors acknowledge their organizational flaws. I felt relieved -- I wasn't the only one!

Mazny years ago the famed author Dr. Alvin Toefler predicted that more of us would be working from our homes. That projection came true leaving a space for advice as to how to do it. The authors Kathy Levinson and Erica Orloff not only provide a solution but valuable advice about issues we may not have considered. This book is tastefully and professionally crafted. Following my reading of the book I found that refering to this text is like going to a seasoned business professional for direction and cousel.

Erica Orloff and Kathy Levinson pair up to deliver a jam-packed, step-by-step, practical guide on how to "have it all." You can conduct a fulfilling career and have a personal life at the same time, if you work at home. Today, with the majority of America working from home in some capacity or another, this book is a must-have on almost every bookshelf. In their hysterically funny way, the authors bring to light any snare you can imagine (and some you'd never think of!) while starting a home business or venturing into the world of telecommuting. And if they make it sound just a little too breezy, you'll find that out as you proceed. So whether you're just toying with the idea of reducing your commute time to less than 60 seconds or your business has already taken over your home, we recommend picking up this quick read and spending some time with two funny ladies who know first hand how to make a home-based business work.

This work is helpful for anyone planning a career around the
"work at home" organizational design. The author describes
flexibility, muti-tasking, time management, sound decisions,
discipline, organization and governmental resources and funding.
The work is "a must" if you plan a home office startup from
scratch. The authors also cover work space "coloring"
in order to maximize the psychological aspects of working
in a cheerful atmosphere. Working at home requires a considerable
commitment to planning and organizing work on a sustained
basis. This work describes the benefits and difficulties
you will encounter in making the effort to design a
job based upon the exclusive use of your home office.

Very good quality. Great price! I was very pleased with the condition of the book and how soon it arrived.
