"Maurer and co-author Katie Weeks have created a must-have manual for anyone considering beginning an interior design practice. Running a successful practice requires more than talent and enthusiasm. The subsequent parts include starting and sustaining the business, and the sale or turnover when it's time to retire. Several examples of actual business practice follow an overview that explains each topic area and how they apply to an interior design practice."
