Books are one of mankind’s greatest inventions. From the furthest reaches of space to the smallest corners of a town, they allow readers to go anywhere that authors can imagine. At Manchester’s Corn Exchange, a building with a rich history at the heart of the city, an interesting machine has been set up to help people expand their horizons. It is a book vending machine that offers free books to anyone. To use this vending machine, book lovers are instructed to bring their books and donate them in return for tokens.
