Professional Practice for Interior Designers 4th Edition

Very informative. I used for a class and still reference it to spruce up in other areas.

I am so happy with my book, glad to know I could buy it for new from this seller!

Its a good book, but there are some things I think need to be reworked.There are real-world examples that are kinda hokey.There are lots of ethical "what would you do" examples with no follow up about whether or not such an example is an ethics violation or not. With relating the examples to codes of ethics, these examples are pointless.There seem to be some factual errors too. For example, the author states that if a designer witnesses work on a job site that is not in conformance with drawings they should intervene and stop work. HELLO! Contract law clearly states a designer should NEVER intervene. They should instead inform the contractor and the client of such inconsistencies and NOT recommend a remedy. It is up to the contractor to decide the appropriate remedy and the client to determine the appropriate contract action to take.And some things seem outdated. In the chapter on preparing marketing presentations, the author states that women "MAY" be permitted to wear trousers to a presentation depending on the firm they work for. Is this 1960? Forcing women to wear skirts violates employment law and the author should know this.Overall its a useful book, but I wouldn't call it great.

Pretty much helps you out how to understand the business side of being a designer. It's super easy to understand and the business examples are very helpful as well.

Book for class

The textbook is excellent!

This book spells out the legal responsibilities of designers. How to set up a design business, licenses, business plan. Promoting the business, presentations and many more interesting aspects of the design business.

The sender was correct that the book was in good (as opposed to excellent) condition. The front and back cover appear to have been chewed on by a family pet & there is a coffee-drip stain at the top of some of the pages. It had no demarkations so I am not distracted by another reader's notes & highlights.
