I spotted a new book vending machine in BCN. Apparently it is a book distribution method only “popular” in latin countries. I like the futuristic “Here are all your books”.

Installed by Punto de Lectura in Line 3, Passeig de Gracia station.

Relation to my thesis: None… or almost none. It is an example of the reaction of the physical (distributed limited-choice bookstores) over the virtual (online unlimited-choice bookstores) and how the 2 might mix at some point.
