How to furnish a home office with sanity.,
By moneyblows books (Lee, NH) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Complete Home Office: Planning Your Workspace for Maximum Efficiency (Hardcover)
Do you like furniture? I hate it. But woe be to the home office that doesn't have some. That's why this picture book is eons ahead of other books that rhapsodize about the home office but don't show it. With its hundreds of photographs and comprehensive text, cases of real people and their transitions to home offices, this tome goes beyond surface considerations. It includes checklists for planning your own home office, and even entire sections on equipment such as computers, lighting, copiers, and on-line services. OK, there's a wishbook quality to it, but home offices frequently start out as dreams before they come crashing down to earth.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Only moderately helpful,
By Phoenix Reader "Kinchie" (Phoenix, AZ USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Complete Home Office: Planning Your Workspace for Maximum Efficiency (Hardcover)
I have worked from my own home office for over 5 years and I'm always looking for clever ideas for making my space my productive and pleasant. I was disappointed with this book. It is a showcase for the author's home office, which involved construction and landscaping. I am of more modest means, and I was looking for very PRACTICAL ideas. The tone of the book is more of "look at what a wonderful job I have done" and while the author's office is nice, it is not the kind of project I have in my near future. If you are just thinking about your first home office and you would like someone to explain the basics, this would be a good starter book. But even the technology and equipment information is out of date -- those things change so fast! As long as you don't expect too much, this has some good information.
