...array of titles previously unavailable with such speed and in such quantity. Instead of faulting the “Espresso Book Machine” for the questions it does not answer, skeptics should realize the magnitude of the services this machine does provide, and we admire the Harvard Book Store for being among the first to invest in such an innovative piece of technology...
