The January issue is less than half the size.

“Freneticism and disappointment, excitement and fear. The history of technology is filled with bursts and busts. Looking backward is not to retreat into the past but to prepare for the future.”
“The Internet is just part of a stream of economic, cultural, and industrial revolutions that date back centuries”

BOOK DROP – first week

Our
Book Drop vending machine (credit Kristin Baum for the brilliant name) has averaged $100 per day revenues for the first week. We are using 12 working slots that hold a dozen 6 x 9 book products packaged in 2 mil poly recloseable bags. Our stuff sells for $5 to $15. The SnackShop-111 machine is a pretty refined technology with easy stocking and pricing and surprisingly clean vending of our irregular items. The LED panel scrolls the endless message; “Have a Nice Book”
Geez FotB rules!

Folderol has named FotB “Cool Librarian Site of the Week”
