But we have discovered the wheel. I feel like a few bikes from Bicycle Belle could have done the job a bit more quickly. Even at one book per second this is 3600 books per hour … how many books does the store stock? I'd guess several hours worth. But maybe they've sold down stock …

When I first heard about this I thought it was a cool idea. The actual execution shown is about as inefficient as you could imagine - one book at a time. Couldn't they have done a few books or a box with 5 books that passed from hand to hand?
