Working from home has several advantages: no dress code, no office hours, and no annoying daily commute. The disadvantages?

Landers, a "serial entrepreneur," founder of five companies, and a small business consultant, offers a humorous but instructive guide for home business owners who want to avoid stagnation and build a successful, effective business. Brief chapters discuss basic topics such as negotiating for office space, press releases, marketing, and hiring staff. Annotation ©2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
