More than 24 million self-employed Americans work from home in income-producing businesses. Now "the gurus of the home office" (Computer Currents) show readers how they can make use of their computer to start and operate a successful home-based business.
The Edwardses, noted for their books on home-based businesses ( The Best Home Businesses for the Nineties , LJ 11/15/91), have added another to in their ``Working from Home'' series. With their usual thoroughness, they have compiled profiles of 75 home- and computer-based businesses, all relying on the computer to generate and operate the business. Each business is rated for its type, income potential, ease of entry, and as an add-on business to existing businesses. There are sections on helping one decide which business is best; on using the computer to manage accounting, administrative tasks, and marketing; and on using on-line databases to locate customers, collect money, and find information to help one compete more effectively. All who have gained valuable advice from the authors' previous books will want to add this one to their reading list. Recommended for public libraries.-- Loraine F.
