So, beyond the practical aspect of having paper to burn or stuff in their sleeping bag for warmth, what makes you think that the homeless would be any more interested in this book than a redundant VM Staffer? For that matter, what makes you think they would be any less offended? After all, in both cases, it could be percieved that Richard Branson is telling them how well he has done, and how well they haven't. Essentially, rubbing their noses in it.
