Book vending machine outside Books Actually. I decided to erm just go inside the store and buy some books I could actually see the cover of and the synopsis. I love the idea of mystery books but what if I already own the book?
HannaPolkadots I'm with you - what if I have it already or it is some book I have no intention of reading? The stakes are too high 😉 8y
jhod My library did it - and described the book in a few words like a dating profile. I thought it was a great idea but obviously at no cost! 8y
SilversReviews I like the library idea with this but not purchasing it. :) 8y

JessReads We run this at my store! We have a return policy that allows you to return or exchange it if you've read it or even if it just doesn't really seem like something you'd like when you open it up. Though very few people actually exchange it, it seems to help it feel less risky 8y
[DELETED] 3803335244 Oh I love this! I wish we had these!!! 8y
tournevis My favourite book vending machine is at Monkey's Paw bookstore in Toronto. For 2$ you get a random vintage book. It'll be either fun to read or fun to art with. 8y
truckerswife I wish they had these in Michigan, with no cost 8y
CouronneDhiver My local used book store does this for $2... at such a low cost, there's no reason not to give it a try. 8y
Librariana We did this at the library in February and called them "blind book dates" ? We'd include a couple of general details about the book, including genre, so that people could at least pick within an area they were already comfortable reading in. And worst case scenario, you're not out any money if you've already read the book or didn't like it ? 8y
