Bugger! That should be:

"Someone needs to update these two classic books and republish them."

And I need to proofread before I hit send!

Jeebus! That's a rip off! James Hennesey and Victor Papanek were doing this sort of thing back in 1973/1974 with their books, "Nomadic Furniture" and "Nomadic Furniture 2", by showing how to do it yourself with recycled corrugated cardboard.

I see where the two books are available via eBay:

Good LORD. And to be honest, that doesn't look remotely comfortable. Why not an Aero bed for $100? It folds up smaller and is way more comfortable.

370 Euros for the small one doesn't even include the matress, that's another 340 Euros. Homeless people have been making beds out of cardboard boxes for years, maybe they should have patented it.
