I was fortunate enough to receive a copy of this book while in Europe last May. My first reaction was to possibly dismiss it as yet another book trying to bridge the gap between design and business.
I was surprised to find myself reading this book through the night. Each page seemed to resonate greater than the last. I finished the book within days of picking it up. "Lots of applicable material" I thought to myself (I have said that on numerous occasions once a book is completed) but then a strange thing happened, I began treating the "Business of Design" as a reference book; it now hardly leaves my side. Daily I find myself utilizing it as a road map to success. My business has grown stronger because of what I have extracted from those pages. I personally want to thank Keith Granet for putting on paper the words that I needed to read in order to elevate my practice. My only question is, when is your next book coming out?

I've been a senior project manager for large architectural firms like Gensler, have also run my own successful practice, and have long awaited a book like this. This book is everything I hoped it would be and more. It gives detailed instruction on how to run an architectural design firm profitably and professionally. Much of the proprietary training I learned at Gensler is shared in this book, and many small firm owners would learn a great deal from it. It promotes strong business planning, organizational structure, staff development, and open communication. I am hopeful that this book will revive our noble profession which has become more and more commoditized by clients due to the fact that too many architects do not run their practices like professional businesses. I highly recommend this book for not only firm owners, but for employees who want to get ahead at their firms.
