A new vending machine has been released which can print any book within minutes.
The Espresso Book Machine has access to 500,000 different books - the same as 23.6 miles of shelf space - and can even churn out a fresh copy of Crime and Punishment in just nine minutes.
Pages are printed at a rate of over 100 per minute and are then pressed, glued and cut to produce a pristine book.
Users simply pick the book they would like on a screen and wait for it to be printed … it certainly is a novel way of getting a new book.alwefhalwiefhaiwuhflawiehfaliwuehfalwiuefhiawuhfliuawehfli!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think they have something similar at Politics and Prose in DC. Although, now that I think about it, their machine might just print new books that haven’t been printed yet.
