Fellow Home Theater Enthusiast!

If you’re someone like me, then you have been longing to watch movies in a theater that will live up to your expectations. If you are excited by the idea of watching movies in a great environment that you control, and spending quality time at home with your family, instead of fighting through lines and crowds…

…Then I invite you to keep reading!

I’m going to show you…

How to turn your love of watching movies the way you want into a reality…

…with case studies of REAL PEOPLE who built their dream home theaters, all detailed step-by-step for you…

Clearly, there is a problem at the movie theater. Does any of this sound familiar?

You pick a seat in a theater, only to have someone sit right in front of you.
You’re trying to enjoy your movie, but the person behind you is talking on their cell phone during the show.
You are annoyed that you have to walk on sticky floors.
You pay a ton of money to take your family to see a movie, and then you spend 20 minutes watching the same commercials you see on TV at home.

I eventually had enough, and decided to do something about it. The solution was to find a way to build an environment at home where I could enjoy movies the way I wanted. If you’re like me, you’ve now been bitten by the home theater bug!

You have the desire to have your own home theater, or maybe you're thinking about your next theater. You're excited, thrilled even by the prospect of having your very own silver screen... But, where to begin? How do you actually build a home theater?

"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 6 theater links 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'll 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.

P.S. - This is by far the best investment I've made to enhance the beauty and soon to be envy of my home. [...] GREAT JOB.

"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.

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.

Keep up the good work,

You have tons of questions: How do you build a stage? How tall should the riser be for the seating? What the heck is a proscenium? Do I need a bass trap, and what is a bass trap anyway?

Sadly, most books on home theater don't answer these questions for you. Instead you tend to get a rehash of the same basic talks. You get pages and pages about understanding what surround sound is and how to connect a VCR to your television. That is NOT what this book is about.

This is a "must read" book for anyone interested in home theater. Written in easy to read language, it details each step of the home theater from design to opening night.

The Home Theater Book, From Concept to Completion: Building Your Dream Home Theater is about just what the title says, building a home theater. And, the book isn't limited to pages of text, not by a long shot. In this type of book, you want photos, and The Home Theater Book, delivers!

If you have questions about building the walls, imagine having over a hundred photos of framing a home theater! If you have questions about stages and risers, imagine having over a hundred photos of those projects!

In all, The Home Theater Book contains just over 700 photos, all showing the various stages of home theater construction. Some theaters are built in the basement, some in the garage, some in new additions, and more. These are not glossy coffee table photos, rather they are hundreds and hundreds of photos by the theater owners showing the exact details of construction, so yes, there will be dust in some of the photos!

"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.

These are NOT glossy photos designed to go in a coffee table book that you look through once or twice. Nope, instead these are hundreds of photos all taken during the actual construction of the theater, dust and all. This is the real deal, the full details of what happens when you take the plunge into one of the most enjoyable projects you can undertake.

"So much more than I imagined."

When I first examined The Home Theater Book, 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!

-- Ken Brown, USA

"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.

-- Steve Richter, USA

"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.

"That one section alone was worth it - and saved me money!"

I learned tons reading this book; it is one that I have gone back to time and time again. But, 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.

-- Bill Bowron, USA

"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.
