Looking at this book from 2017 its really showing it's age. The styles and ideas are all rooted thoroughly in the 1970's. For example, one plan is for a cardboard child seat for your car! The furniture is mostly built of cardboard and foam or other funky materials. There are lots of milk-carton light fixtures, it's all pretty sad. There are a couple of useful ideas in this book, but no more than that. One thing I did enjoy was that the puts names and creators to certain light fixtures and chairs that have since become ubiquitous. In most cases these examples (of expensive, imported, originals) are followed by a milk-carton version of the same thing.

Fun stuff. If you haven't seen this book first-hand, it's worth the purchase. The handwritten "font" that the book is written in is over the top: kinda hard to scan/skim and not enough white space on the pages. But the furniture and living space designs are fun, and the book is very informative on designing load-bearing furniture. It'll definitely give you some new ideas about elegant/efficient design. It'll also make you say: My gosh, they've been doing this same type of furniture for how many years, now? (some of the "new" designs are old as the hills, it turns out.)

Quite a few years old! It does have the three patterns designs for which I've been searching. Very disappointed in the font - hard to read. Drawings are tough to decipher, but with the measurements given, anyone should be able to duplicate these. Would not buy again. The information is available through other medias for free.

I first met this book about 40 years ago, and it still holds me fascinated. Through the magic of eBay (and now Amazon) I have replaced my lost or worn-out copies once or twice, and I never tire of re-reading it and recommending it. My husband and I have followed the instructions and plans for many of the items in the book, and now that we're old empty-nesters, it's time to start over with the minimalist household furnishings. This is a gem that DIY people NEED!

Alexandra

My 22 year old has thanked me many times for sending her off to college with one of my favorites from the late 60's, early 70's, Nomadic Furniture. This is the one that tells you how to gather and build all those necessities for your home/dorm/room/place/crib from next to nothing. I sent her with this one and "Champagne Living on a Beer Budget".

Nomadic Furniture is very practical, even though she lives a few miles from an IKEA. A lot of the ideas in this book ended up in the IKEA inventory. Get it and share it for a generation or two. Nothing like a little recession to bring out the value of this one.

I found that this publication is just a two books put together as I have one each of Nomactic furniture 1 and 2 and this is a combo of those two publications.

Billy Granson

Yes, the illustrations and text are all hand drawn (how cool is that!?) and the focus is not on HowTo with lots of instructions. Instead, this is an idea book, and does so successfully if you have a bit of imagination to run with the inspiration. I'm glad I have it.

I bought this book after reading a blurb in New York Magazine. The handwritten font is a bit hard to read, but I could get through it. I might not make anything from the book, but it inspires me.

I like the measurements given in the book, and the idea of measuring your family before buying furniture like tables and chairs. Now I know that height of our dining room chairs are perfect for my husband.
No wonder he LOVES those unslightly shabby chic junkers!
