A guide to business principles and practices for interior designers.......2005-08-24
Good reference work / textbook.......2001-08-20
Thoroughly updated to reflect current practices and procedures, the book is divided into four parts. In Part 1 the Siegels discuss how to establish an interior design practice. In Part 2 they describe how to carry through a job and charge for it. Included are a new checklist to help the designer handle initial contacts with the client, new descriptions of the use of combinations of fees and allocation of budget amounts, as well as three completely new chapters, Analysis of Scope of Services, Approach to the Flat Fee, and Sales Taxes. Alan M. Siegel, a partner in the law firm of Levy & Sonet, which is legal counsel to the American Society of Interior Designers, Inc., has completely revised the chapter on residential letters of agreement.
The special requirements of nonresidential work are covered in Part 3. Here too the chapter on letters of agreement has been completely revised by Alan M. Siegel, and the discussion of the designer's responsibilities for purchases has been expanded. In Part 4 the Siegels examine forms, techniques, and special factors including actual examples of the specialized procedural forms used in the design office. The chapter on insurance has been expanded and completely revised, including a discussion of errors and omissions coverage. Also included is a new chapter, The Interior Designer as a Product Designer.
This book should be required reading for all designers or students, who want reasonable remuneration for their knowledge, flair, and hard work. You can't afford to pass up this valuable professional resource.

Rave Reviews for "Black & White Men".......2001-10-22
"Spada's work is a paean to male beauty, with the same appreciation seen in classical Greek art. But his compositions have an intimacy and sexuality that is lacking in most classical art. ...Spada has selected models with a great deal of charm... It is an admirable and attractive entry on his list of accomplishments, and a beautiful gift for the connoisseur of masculine beauty, from an author who is incredibly prolific."
Stephen Moser, Austin Texas Chronicle
"Black and White Men represents an unusually high level of artistic and technical quality. . . The book is unquestionably a
sensual one, but not overtly sexual. Spada handles his subjects here with the same care, diligence, respect and detail as if he were writing about them.Another aspect of Jim's photos that makes them unique among most photographers of the male image is the exquisite interplay of light and shadow. Computer scans do not do these photos justice in this regard. He uses soft, almost hazy, lighting to convey the tender and sensual side of masculinity while using bolder lighting and lines to show men's strength and power. He has been compared to a young Mapplethorpe, but I find that a more apt comparison is to George Platt Lynes, still one of the greatest photographers of the 20th century."
--Bill Brownell, max4men.com
"James Spada gives us a diverse and delectable feast of the male form in its intimate state. Make no mistake: what Spada does isn't standard beefcake -- it is instead sensitive, dramatic and strong. It is utterly male without bravado or trite machismo posturing; each portrait is candid in its view, but perfectly crafted in its art. Spada's work truly merges the intimate erotic with a classical art sensibility."
--Heather Corinna, ScarletLetters.com
"Black & White Men is a wonderful book, and an essential text for anyone who appreciates the male art form. It opens a new chapter in the professional life of one of our favorite and most enduring artists."
--Jesse Monteagudo, Bay Windows, Boston
"Spada captures the natural light as it casts shadows softly across naked bodies...which results in a nonchalant and intimate eroticism. One gets the feeling Spada is being truly honest with his portraits, which makes this collection a must-have for any photography connoisseur."
--Instinct Magazine
Thanks for reading. This book has been nominated for a Lambda Literary Award and an Independent Publishers Award as one of the best photography books of 2000. I hope you'll give it a try! ....

Now a Renowned Photographer!.......2000-12-08
This book is over 90 pages, and that's my only regret. I just wish it could have been a more extensive selection of his images. I would recommend this collection of 60 images to anyone who enjoys male nude photography from a inspiring new photographer.!

Touching and evocative first-person account for mourners.......2004-03-02
I (age 29) lost my mom (age 55) equally suddenly, thee months ago, and I've had a hard time finding a book that spoke to me on the level I needed. The grief "handbooks" weren't doing it for me; I was put off by eminently qualified counselors and academics softly reassuring me about the "normal" steps of grieving. I headed into my mourning with an open mind, receptive to whatever my heart and head wanted to give me, so their reassurances rang hollow. Nor were flowery and poetic books giving me what I needed. I just wanted to read something, in a person's real voice, that resonated with the way I felt -- cheated, desperate, wounded. I found it in this little gem.
This book is private, sometimes raw and painful, and other times intimate and adoring, even funny. The journal-entry format makes it perfect for bite-size reading (and if you've just lost a loved one you may only be able to handle one of these perfect, painful little bites at a time). It is clearly written not by a counselor, but by a wife longing for her husband, in real-time and in her own voice. Anyone who has lost an intimate relative will recognize the adoration and longing she feels for him, and probably the occasional anger and resentment too. I know I saw my relationship with my mom in dozens of places in this book. She misses his little quirks, re-lives their old times and re-visits their future plans, left meaningless without him to share them. She records the everyday shocks and little losses, the downs of personal torment and the gradual little ups of healing, the larger meanings and philosophical questions of life after losing a loved one.
In the Afterword, Dohaney, a writer by profession, explains that that notebook she wrote these pages in was a gift from a friend just after her husband's death. She started keeping the journal just for herself, and only several years later did friends in the business convince her to publish it. Probably *because* it wasn't written with the eventual book in mind, her writing is the best of the first-person accounts I've seen.
I've finished the book now, but I think I've only progressed in my own mourning about as far as her half-way point. I have a sense I'll be re-reading this again and again as I go, feeling familiarity with more and more of it each time. I don't yet identify with the end of the book, where she starts to feel ready to live the rest of her life without her husband. I'm still stuck on the pain of the loss (recent mourners can relate, I'm sure) and somehow it makes me nervous/uneasy to think I'll ever be "over" the loss to that degree. But I'm willing to go along for the ride because everything she's said so far has resonated so deeply for me.
From my perspective, this book should be on the reading list of anyone who has lost a lover, spouse, or close loved one.
