 Ahead of its time in 1996. Somewhat dated now. Well done.Apr 03, 1999
Even with the explosion in home based technology in the last three years the basics in the book are well researched and well written. I was really hopeing to find an updated version of this pioneer work. Having many employees now living the vision Ms. Bredin wrote about I require this book to be read and kept/used as reference. It's almost part of the employee manual. I know when they see the 1996 copyright date, and they think they are doing something new, it seems a chore to have to read the book. In the end all have been happy they did. Looking forward to the update.

I've only read a few chapters but what I've read impresses me. It's fresh and innovative and something I hadn't really thought about using. I'm just starting my own business and this has given me tons of ideas for an office in cyberspace with no rent!
