Seller was efficient, but the book itself has too many quotes, so it’s hard to follow along in one person’s tone. It’s less of a guide or textbook and more of a question/answer compilation. May be useful for some.

This book provides a wealth of information if you’re considering a career in interior design. It gives you the breadth of possibilities of interior designing – residential and commercial. I also like that the author included quotes from practicing professionals on a range of topics.

This book was recommended to me my last year in college. (Bachelor of Interior Design) While I was faily certain that I would enter commercial design, the author of this book could have convinced me otherwise.
There is good basic information on each area of the field. I felt that the section on Hospitality design was very informative.

I bought this book because I am interested in going back to school for a 2nd degree in Interior Design. This book gives a great breakdown of the industry. It breaks down the different specialities and highlights the major points in each specialization. It also discusses education and certification. I love the Questions to Interior Designers section, because they interview practicing interior designers. I have made my final decision to go back to school and this book has helped alot in my decision making process.
