The first book came out in 1973, so it&#8217;s got that crunchy style DIY flavor, right down to the hand-written text in ALL CAPS, even the page numbers are hand-written.<\/p>\n<p>From the cover: &#8220;How to build and where to buy lightweight furniture that folds, inflates, knocks down, or is disposable and can be recycled. &#8212; With many easy to follow illustrations.&#8221; I think that sums it up pretty well. Obviously, the shopping sources are pretty stale. But many of the ideas are timeless, a few even have the potential to be stylish. Maybe the most timeless, and practical, information included is in the section &#8220;On Human Measurement.&#8221; The authors list some ergonomic starting points for chairs, tables and more.
