Fifth Edition--Revised and Expanded. A new edition of the classic guidebook that started the "Working From Home" revolution.
Paul and Sarah Edwards have completely updated their bestselling home-office guide to meet the needs of today's millions of small-business people.
This comprehensive update of America's premier guide to home-based employment features complete and easy-to-follow advice on:
-- equipping and computerizing the up-to-date home office;
-- funding your venture--and staying out of debt;
-- keeping your work and personal life separate;
-- making cyberspace work for your individual business needs, and much more.
"No home office is complete without a copy of Working From Home." --Bernadette Grey, Home Office Computing
"If I had to choose only one book for my home-office reference shelf, this is the one I would choose. It's thorough, up-to-date, informed by detailed research, user-friendly, and fun to read." --Thomas E. Miller, National Work-at-Home Survey
"No one knows the working-from-home field like Paul and Sarah Edwards." --Gil Gordon, Telecommuting Review

Customer Rating:
Summary: Simple but effective
Comment: I liked this one because it actually got into some specifics. If you liked this book and are interested in working from home, give me a call @ 1-888-408-8368
Customer Rating: 
Summary: an ok book
Comment: This one seemed a bit cheesey to me, as though it were slapped together in a hurry with a lot of information in a clearing house style much like those you see on finding money. My impression was the author was more about making money than writing a useful book. All that said, I give it a two star rating because it is so packed with topics pertaining to working at home that it may be worth it just as a quick reference tool.

Summary: Great book for a would-be stay-at-home-worker
Comment: This is a book you should read before you quit your job. This book is the one you can trust. It includes almost everything you need to know about working from your home.
No wonder it's a fifth edition.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Thick but very shallow
Comment: (Maybe 2 stars is a little harsh, but I'm not sure I can change it)
The book is relatively thick. It's full of the kind of detail I find somewhat tedious and a deterrent to reading cover to cover - but what to me is tedious might strike you as comprehensive. In any case it seems reference oriented.
There's a little too much pointlessly obvious and irrelevant detail (e.g section on the difference between a scanner and digital camera; a line drawing of how to set up an item of folding furniture which isn't even referred to in the text). Frequently sprinkled contact details for particular companies give it the feel of advertainment at times (eg the page dedicated to detailing modular furnings available from one retailer, complete with price tags and the supplier's web and phone details). It is in all ways US-centric, which is either an advantage or a disadvantage depending on your location.
Though on first look (I do own it) I found little to make me want to actually read the book, it might also as a passable 'wide but shallow' quick reference, especially if you're in the US.
It might also make an OK first book on the topic. I would recommend however, that the prospective reader preferentially (or at least additionally) purchase a number of more succinct, specifically targeted books which explore key topics in depth.
