Many home design guides often assume you have unlimited space and money to design your home. This book contains examples on how to convert not just newly built large spaces, but even small odd shaped spaces, such as under stairwells and in attics into useful home offices. There are also many examples of the different furniture and decorating possibilities. A must have for anyone planning a serious home office.

This book has the expected material on organizing yourself, your home, and your office, that you'd find in any number of books. But it also has an extremely valuable and specific chapter on how to set goals for yourself. It does not define WHAT goals you should set, but describes a useful process for setting up goals and breaking them into steps to help you make a plan for reaching them. The goals chapter alone is worth the price of the book

So short on time that you need to decide on the book right now, then yes, yes, yes!

For those of you with an extra minute: This book works on every level. Either read it cover to cover all at once or open it up anywhere and find something immediately useful in a moment. The practical advice is truly helpful, not cutesy mind-tricks that don't really solve long-term problems. The discussions of why we handle the details of our lives the way we do are intelligent and clear. Dru Scott knows how to present a monumental amount of information concisely and palatably. The numerous case histories that help the book come alive are very short and very readable, and are always presented with a purpose. This is one of those books to keep handy on your shelf, ready for whenever you need to look at it again.

In rough times, approximately 25% of businesses fail, 70% survive, and 5% thrive. Since 1854, the United States has had thirty-two economic downturns, and all signs indicate that the cyclical economy is here to stay. Marketing expert Tom Reilly's How To Sell And Manage In Tough Times And Tough Markets is a sobering, critical appraisal of how to become part of the 5% that thrives during the inevitable downturns of the market, and how to best adapt to a cyclical economy rather than be crushed whenever it rolls over you. Practical, self-reliant advice to help executives focus on finding a solution rather than worry about blame fills How To Sell And Manage In Tough Times And Tough Markets. Very strongly recommended for any entrepreneurs, salespeople, and corporate managers, who plan to profitably stay in business.

The Hunter Douglas Guide to Window Decorating would be a good reference guide if it were written by an unknown. The fact that the largest manufacturer of Window Blinds and coverings, Hunter Douglas, has embarked on an impressive and easily comprehensible How-To is remarkable. There are no bells and whistles, just honest and easy to understand examples in both written word and pictures. The case studies are relevant and feasible: a concern many other books simply do not acknowledge. In my opinion, being a designer myself, it is a refreshing reference to have in any design conscious household or office.

Superbly organized and clearly written, this book should become a dog-eared handbook in the war chest of every marketer, product manager and salesperson. Although he downplays his research, Kobi James brings both an academic and an on-the-street perspective that both questions and motivates the attitude of companies to focus on customer needs when rolling out a product or solution. Anyone in the business of selling product or services should do themselves a favor and hunker down with this book

Win employees' loyalty means win everything

The book and it's application principles are a definite must if you are serious about implementing 'Lean Manufacturing Principles ' and getting the best of two worlds' (MRP and Kanban). Even if you do not have an MRP system in place this book will deliver results immediately with true 'How To' reasoning. It is obvious that Mr Louis is actively working in the trenches and staying in touch with the 'World of Production'
