Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

Attorney Crawford and professional designer Bruck, coauthors of Business and Legal Forms for Graphic Designers, have once again teamed up to present a comprehensive guide to business organization and legalities this time for interior designers. Though chapters cover successful proposals and negotiations as well as business law, the book consists primarily of forms, including those used for budgeting, scheduling, and contracts as well as logs for purchases and estimates. The forms, also found on the accompanying CD-ROM, are arranged chronologically and include extensive instructions on their use. Highly recommended for professional, college, and large interior design collections.

4.0 out of 5 stars Business Forms for Interior Designers, January 4, 2007

By	Conan (New Jersey) - See all my reviews

Book was a help to understand what forms would be useful for an owner of an interior design business. the book contained information on how the form is used, an example of the form. a cd was included that contained all forms covered in the book. this was most useful. To be honest, the forms were very basic and did not take advantage of color printers or fancy fonts. I used the forms I needed as a model to create a better versions in microsoft excel. If you are looking for basic forms to provide your clients and vendors, this book contains all that you need. If you need something alittle fancier, and are good with your computer, model your own from what is provided. I would still rate this book as a good buy.
