A vending machine in Manchester, U.K. allows users to exchange books for free, according to a bbc.com report. The glassfront machine in the Manchester Corn Exchange, a shopping mall, has already dispensed more than 600 books.
Customers are required to bring a book to one of the hosts on duty at the Manchester Corn Exchange and receive a token to use at the machine to retrieve one of the books in the machine, according to the exchange's website. The customer can examine the book and if not satisfied, they can exchange it and select a different book from the machine.
There are no limits on how many times a person can exchange books, but they are limited to bringing five books to begin with. The books must be in good condition.
The machine is stocked with a mix of books from different genres.
