Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
These two books take different approaches to the topic of home offices. Zimmerman looks at the nuts-and-bolts practicality of planning a home office. For those unfamiliar with the design considerations involved in setting up an efficient, comfortable home office, he gives advice on everything from where to set up an office to the type of electrical power needed to supply all the gadgets. He includes an extensive section on furniture and product resources as well. Through numerous color photographs, Paul shows everything from small offices to ones in converted out-buildings. She considers how each look was accomplished, but her book is useful mainly as a way to show how the ideas from Zimmerman's book can be attractively incorporated into the home. Since technology now allows more and more people to work at home, both books will be useful for public libraries. (Illustrations not seen.)

From Booklist
This book is 180 degrees removed from the practicalities offered by such home-office experts as Paul and Sarah Edwards. Although a nod or two is given to budgets, the photographic showcase of 45 home offices is exciting, breathtaking, and, yes, usually expensive. Of course, design ideas proliferate, acting as a real motivator to do something for the home working environment in which 20 percent of us live. A cast-off, stainless steel shoe rack becomes a wall-bound book and magazine holder; old bowling balls perform as humorous finials for a bookcase; and restaurant shelving now holds a myriad of office papers and products. Metropolitan Home editor Paul segregates her examples by category, including home offices for solo practitioners, for firms with employees, in loft areas, for working couples, and in separate buildings. Great running commentary and top-quality color photography--for home workers to whom money is truly no object. Barbara Jacobs
