Reader Testimonials
I began reading and highlighting important points and looked at the example theaters and this is totally blowing my mind at the amount of detail and information that’s available in your book!!!
The best investment I've made...
Warren, I'd just like to thank you as I get started on my own project. I'm a pretty frugal guy who likes to spend my hard earned money as smartly as possible, even to the point of looking for the least expensive and quality filled How-to-book to do as much of my own work as I can (with friends w/skills of course). I began reading and highlighting important points and looked at the example theaters and this is totally blowing my mind at the amount of detail and information that's available in your book!!!
I searched high-end book stores, internet book stores, and even the DIY home stores with minimal satisfaction. I decided to take a chance on your e-book and spend the couple extra $$ (comparatively) and am absolutely positive no matter how much I'm able to afford on my basement project, it will be 100x better than if I blindly trusted and paid a ton of money to a Home Theater builder!
I look forward to showing you my progress as it comes along up to the grand opening of my yet unnamed project. Thanks again! -Kevin Hurdle, USA
PS - This is by far the best investment I have made to enhance the beauty and soon to be envy of my entire home!
This was a book that I could not skip a page or a paragraph. Each sentence was carefully placed and sometimes I had to read them again because I liked it.
Kept me awake till 2AM!
I just wanted to let you know that that ebook kept me awake till 2AM! Book is written the way I like it… very clear and understanding terms, very nice and simple explanation, worth placing those pics that add a lot of value to the book. You have done a tremendous job putting all that information together and nicely arranged. I’m at page 180 and the reason I didn’t want to continue was that then I would come by the end of it and there would be not much fun and new things to learn I thought to leave some for today.

Keep up the great work! -Sergio Georgi, USA
the book focuses on design and construction, it is equally useful for people using an existing room who want to understand what goes into creating an excellent home theater. The book is chock full of great advice about room setup, acoustics, and much more.
A Uniquely Valuable Resource...
The Home Theater Book by Warren Peterson is a uniquely valuable resource for anyone planning to build or setup a home theater. Although the book focuses on design and construction, it is equally useful for people using an existing room who want to understand what goes into creating an excellent home theater. The book is chock full of great advice about room setup, acoustics, and much more.
Especially useful are the "I wish I knew" tips - hindsight advice Warren obviously learned the hard way! Case studies are also presented showing how five different people were able to realize the home theater of their dreams. Extensive detailed photos are presented throughout, so you can clearly see how each of these theaters was constructed in great detail. Highly recommended.

So much more than I imagined.
When I first examined The Home Theater Book, it was so much more than I imagined it would be, as I wasn't the biggest fan of ebooks, but yours has changed my mind on that. I was blown away by the sheer number of photographs. Seeing every stage of the various construction projects has helped me more than anything else in planning my own home theater. I highly recommend this book!

I don’t need another book telling me that HDTV is an upgrade from standard television! The Home Theater Book detailed each step in building a home theater, and it is an invaluable resource for anyone interested in, or building, home theaters.
Finally, A book I can actually use!
It seems that every other home theater book I've read (and I think I might have read them all!) covers the same topics, the same fundamental discussions. I don't need another book telling me that HDTV is an upgrade from standard television! The Home Theater Book detailed each step in building a home theater, and it is an invaluable resource for anyone interested in, or building, home theaters. Finally, a book I can actually use! Thank you!

the thing that blew me away were the photos. To actually see so many theaters from the first stage of framing to the finished rooms is amazing.
The photos are amazing.
Just to be clear, Warren's writing is excellent. He is able to write about technical issues in a clear and very easy to understand manner. But, the thing that blew me away were the photos. To actually see so many theaters from the first stage of framing to the finished rooms is amazing. I have learned so much about building home theaters, that I felt I needed to write this. So, thank you Warren, this helped more than I could tell you.

If only I had this book last time.
Currently, I am planning my next home theater. There sure are lots of ideas I'll be using from this book on that upcoming project. I wish I had this book several years ago when I built my last theater, it would have saved me time and saved me money. Thanks for the great reference.

First, thanks – this book is awesome! I learned tons reading this book; it is one that I have gone back to time and time again.
That one section alone was worth it - and saved me money!
First, thanks - this book is awesome! I learned tons reading this book; it is one that I have gone back to time and time again. However, one section of the book, and on first glance it didn't stick out, turned out to be the thing that has actually saved me money. Reading what theater owners would do differently, or what they wish they knew prior to building their theaters, that was great. Just one idea from that section made a world of difference.
