Vending Machine Randomly Dispenses Old Books
This vending machine is great for book lovers who can’t decide on their next read. Built by Craig Small for antiquarian bookshop The Monkey’s Paw in Toronto, the Biblio-Mat gives you a random old book when you insert $2. Sporting the claim of 112 million titles and no two alike, the Biblio-Mat offers customers a literary surprise that can vary widely in size and subject matter.

“If I’d let myself love him, I’d end by hating him. He only excited me. But that wasn’t enough. Even in in the ecstasy of our kisses, I knew he was not my kind. I looked at the books on my table that had stared at me like enemies a little while before. They were again the life of my life. Nothing was so beautiful as to learn to know, to master by the sheer force of my will even the dead squares and triangles of geometry. I seized my books and hugged them to my breast as though they were living things.”
Anzia Yezierska, Bread Givers
Anzia, how do you know exactly what I’m going through right now?
