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.
