Other countries with book vending machines include Japan, which is known for its pocket-sized books and manga comics, and most of Europe such as Spain, Germany and Sweden.
Leck also said that sales wasn't a driving force, and he ultimately wanted a way to promote Singapore literature and encourage Singaporeans to pick up books again.
