This book bed is like heaven for bibliophiles that wish they could just curl up in a bed of books and go to sleep. The book-made bed was put together as part of a display by Anthropologie, showing off a variety of its home textiles. Although there probably had to be some kind of way to secure these books in place, none of the actual books appear to have been cut in any shape or form and the bed is made just by stacking a bunch of books one on top of another, even for the curved components of the head and footboard.
If books ever do happen to become obsolete, it's reassuring to know that they can always be put towards building unique furniture—plus think of all the reading you could get done each night.
