Book Reviews of Professional Practice for Interior Designers

Book Review: Good Source for NCIDQ Review
Summary: 4 Stars

I used this book in my professional practice class and a co-worker of mine borrowed it to study for the NCIDQ - she said many of the ethical and business related questions that appeared on the test were covered in this book. It is really well written and easy to follow. The CD has good resources, like mock invoices and POs that you can open and edit.
