I was hoping for a really good guide to the business side of Interior Design from an expert. This book was reccomended to me by another professional in the business as the "bible" of the business. I was hoping for insights for a well-run, prosperous, effecient and positive business. I was sorely disappointed. This book is negative, preachy, outdated, and angry. Written in a most uninspired manner and goes so far as to say things like, if you want your own business you better be prepared to give up bridge, tennis, dinner with your family... blah, blah, blah, or quite frankly your contract is to protect you, NOT your client. Hmmm, really, last I checked it is supposed to do both. Maybe it just does not represent the spirit in which I choose to do business. I was hoping for advise from someone who is better at this than I am, someone who may have streamlined the process and knows good time management. All the drama and negativity pulls your energy from whatever good information is present. I can see the wagging index finger of the writer as I read, no thank you.

Just by thumbing through this book at the store the other day I could tell it was the book for me! I highly recommend this publication to anyone who needs to learn the in's-n-out's of this business. I learned so much already...I can't wait to finish it
