This Vintage-Looking Vending Machine Dispenses Rare Books For Just $2
A Toronto bookstore has come up with a creative way to add value to old, discount books that otherwise may clutter its storage: an antique-seeming “book dispenser” that randomly spits out old books for $2 a pop.
The Biblio-Mat combines the charm of a gumball machine with the surprise element of a raffle. The machine jumps to life once money’s inserted. With a bit of overt drama—cranking and whirring and ringing that invoke old machinery—the dispenser then releases a used title from its stock, dropping it into a slot for a happy reader to walk away with.

But you see, I had to post this.
In my dream life, horrific things happen.
I’ve died, seen people killed, tried to kill people, frequently run away from killers, kissed people (I don’t know about you, but kissing can be horrific) and really, the rest follows suit.
Last night was no different. Terrorizing was replayed in various forms in 4 new and creative horrific dreams. Awesome!
So you can imagine why I’m not expecting a fairytale tonight.
I think this every single day.
I have a working compass for one city alone. Everywhere else, I'm perpetually lost.
However, this tends to lend itself well for stories, meeting new people and long walks.
Someday I’m gonna pack up and leave this town
I’m gonna get my own things going...
