Based on both research and Mason's (residential architect with his own firm) first-hand experience, this book outlines the most important aspects of running an architectural firm. With more than 100 entries, arranged in question-and-answer format, it includes advice on mission statements, marketing, negotiations, recruiting, consulting, time management, and principles of organization. A CD-ROM is included; it contains standardized forms to assist with record keeping. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
