In the Sushi Library, a continuous stream
of books
opened
at
pages displaying a full spectrum of all
kinds
of images, including diagrams and
mathematical symbols, slowly drifts past
a
long row of
seated browsers. As soon as a book is
taken
off the conveyor by a potential borrower,
another different one slides into its place.
Through statistical
analysis
the most popular books are eventually
represented by multiple copies.

Isn't this what Amazon does? |

Finally, a library that serves sake ! |

[Normzone], you obviously don't patronise the right sort of library .... |

In a fleeting effort to prove that the concept could virtually be applied to anything of interest with the same amount of efficacy, I realized it wasn't the case. [+] |

You know you're just going to want to read again an hour later. |

Sorry, I am too impatient for this, plus who flips what pages to what place? |

Perhaps if it was a 'recommended books' conveyer belt that was embedded in the walls of a regular library; this could catch your eye when you are momentarily between stacks. But for a library that only has this conveyor belt contraption? |

I would like to see this as an on-line thing. |

umm...the librarian chef. |

Lovely stuff. Perhaps the books could be left to fall open at their most-thumbed, spine-cracked pages, these being usually climactic or otherwise mucky scenes, one imagines, and therefore most likely to entice the febrile grasp of the library customer. |

I'd ask for the dictionary but not take it. |
