Books available from a vending machine
|
A vending machine containing an array of books published by Penguin Books has been installed at British train station. This has now been achieved following a collaboration between Penguin Books, Great Western Railway, Graddons Vending, and Bookbag. Sir Allen Lane who founded Penguin Books believed that high quality, engaging, and reasonably priced books should be available to everyone, anywhere. The idea for a book vending machine is based on Penguin’s Books origins. Titles available in the vending machine include 1984 by George Orwell, The Thursday Murder Club and The Man Who Died Twice by Richard Osman, Grown Ups by Marian Keyes,

and Big Sky by Kate Atkinson, among numerous others. The titles in the machine will be changed on a regular basis, to include a mix of new books and older titles. The newspaper said key moments would be highlighted during the year through the titles on offer, including History Month, Black History Month, and others.
