What is the story behind the Biblio-mat?

I went fishing this past summer with Craig Small, co-founder of The Juggernaut, an animation studio in Toronto. I had this idea that I would love to have a vending machine that gave out random books. I pictured it as a painted refrigerator box with one of my assistants inside; people would put in a coin and he would drop a book out. But Craig is more pragmatic and visionary then I am. He said, “You need to have an actual mechanical vending machine.” That was beyond my wildest imaginings, but not Craig’s, so he just built it for me.

…

What books are stocked in the Biblio-mat?The books in the machine are two dollars each — that’s not enough to make any profit, but the nature of the second-hand book business is that I end up with a lot of books that are interesting and worth keeping and disseminating, but have no practical retail value. Historically in the used books trade there has always been the dollar cart in front of the store. This is just a spin on that.

A random used-book vending machine. I think I am in love.

The Case For Keeping Libraries Alive

It’s not about checking out more books. An initiative is focusing on libraries around the world as centers of social and economic change, as well as centers to help the most disadvantaged citizens.

Piano Bookshelf. 

We here at Unconsumption love coming across examples of musical instrument repurposing, and this uncredited piano-cabinet-turned-bookshelf photo is a great one to add to the group. 

(Note: We always prefer seeing photos posted with proper attribution and link(s) to source(s). If you know the source of this piano-shelf photo, tell us!)

This.is.amazing. That is all.

To help Land Rover owners stay alive if they ever get stuck in the desert, Land Rover worked with ad agency Young & Rubicam Dubai to create an edible survival guide. 

In the ‘Edible Desert Survival Guide’, tips on surviving the harshness of the dessert—such as scorching temperatures, deadly animals and such—are explained. 

It teaches you things like how to build shelters, signal for help, light a fire, hunt birds and how to get your orientation by using the North star. 

But as a last resort, you can eat the book! 

The survival guide is made out of edible paper and ink. Its metal binding can be used as skewers; and its reflective packaging, to signal for help.
