I am using this book for a class. It is actually very readable and has lots of good clear information.

The book is very informative,easy to read, and enjoyable! I wish I would have read as an interior design student, but I wouldn't have appreciated it as a 21 year-old.
"Good for the NCIDQ"

This is very good! I haven't read the whole thing though. This version is so much better than the old one. It's twice as thick and scary at first site. If using it to study for the NCIDQ, better start reading way in advance, it's long and small print. Got a nice CD in the back to use for forms, nice!
"Good but needs some updating"

Its a good book, but there are some things I think need to be reworked.
There are real-world examples that are kinda hokey.
There are lots of ethical "what would you do" examples with no follow up about whether or not such an example is an ethics violation or not. With relating the examples to codes of ethics, these examples are pointless.
There seem to be some factual errors too. For example, the author states that if a designer witnesses work on a job site that is not in conformance with drawings they should intervene and stop work. HELLO! Contract law clearly states a designer should NEVER intervene. They should instead inform the contractor and the client of such inconsistencies and NOT recommend a remedy. It is up to the contractor to decide the appropriate remedy and the client to determine the appropriate contract action to take.
And some things seem outdated. In the chapter on preparing marketing presentations, the author states that women "MAY" be permitted to wear trousers to a presentation depending on the firm they work for. Is this 1960? Forcing women to wear skirts violates employment law and the author should know this.
Overall its a useful book, but I wouldn't call it great.

good information for starting a design business (not just interior) or to rewrite an existing plan that needs some freshening up.
"Good Source for NCIDQ Review"

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.
