Summary:

"The designs for paperback furniture presented here aim at providing physical solutions to the problems and needs generated by the use of paperbacks in education. First and foremost, they are directed toward accessibility of the books in the library, bookstores, classrooms, lounges, commons, corridors, and wherever else students may move or assemble in the schoolhouse. Secondly, they are calculated to attract youngsters to reach for the books on impulse. The designs are adaptable in traditional buildings with fixed interior partitions and in buildings desinged with increasing degrees of openness for team-teaching and nongraded programs"--Page 3.
