The Home Office Book
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.)Copyright 1996 Reed Business Information, Inc.
