Good idea!? Maybe it just sounds good to me because of the liquor store part!? What do you think!?Www@QuestionHome@Com Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: But that would take away from the experience of going to a bookstore!. And you'd be limited to a small number of books!. I couldn't do that!. The smell of books is my favorite part of going to the book store, and a vending machine just takes the magic out of both going to the bookstore and the book you got from the vending machine!. I mean, could you imagine the conversation!? "Hey, I got this amazing book from Barnes and Noble!." versus "Hey, I got this amazing book from the vending machine outside Walmart!." Yeah!. There you go!.Www@QuestionHome@Com Have you seen one of those yet!? I just heard about it on Minnesota Public Radio or National Public Radio- can't remember!. I think it's ruining what getting a book is all about!. Going to the book store!. Those authentic little homey book stores will forever be in ruins!. Hope this helps!!!Www@QuestionHome@Com We have those in Driving School places!. Put $15 in, select the copy you want, and out comes your brand new drivers manual!.!.!.
