My heart would cry when the book just falls at the bottom of the machine. I wish they had one of those fancy mechanisms that lowers down the item for you.

Saw a religious one on the way to visit the Western Wall in Jerusalem yesterday. They're pretty awesome.

Hopefully we can get book vending machines everywhere!
