Summary: An Inspiration
Comment: The Home Office is a great and unique source of inspiration. This book has been a wonderful resource for me in organizing and defining my home office. Donna Paul has written in-depth and high quality chapters on an enormous variety of home offices (totaling 45) located across the United States. The photographs by Grey Crawford are exceptional.
My personal experience with this book has been to be inspired to use what I already have in a creative (and inexpensive) way and to incorporate into my home office personal items and a personal touch that I would not have used in a downtown high rise office.
If I could only have one home/decorating book, whether or not specifically for a home office, this would be the one. It's great!

Summary: Unfullfilled Expectations
Comment: This glossy book depicts some really beautiful and unique home (plus one on a boat) offices. However, it could have been so much better!
Missing are floorplans and dimensions of the offices shown in this book. Also missing are sketches depicting the relation of the office space to the rest of the home - something useful to those contemplating new construction. What species of wood comprises those cabinets, and how were they finished? How was that floor made? The reader must guess at these and dozens and dozens of other questions the photographs evoke.
Instead, the author chooses to annotate the photos with useless comments such as where a pillow was made... the owner's collection of inkwells... what artist drew the prints on the wall... you get the idea. One gets the notion Ms. Paul never once asked herself what information would be desired by someone buying her book. She seems more interesed in the interior decoration aspects of home offices than their design.
Rating: 5
Summary: Simple the best home office design resource available!
Comment: If you are thinking about setting up a home office , this book is fabulous. How Ms. Paul found these amazing home offices I don't know. But they are full of great design ideas. Beautiful photography. Great writing!
