Me: No serial killer would ever lure me into their murder van. I'm too smart for that.

@echobit @donmelton They would have to murder me IN the van, because once I got in, I’m not leaving until I’ve read every single book! “Put down the hatchet. I’m just getting to the good part!”

@echobit for anybody interested, here's a video about the van:

https://youtu.be/dMNMAVujeS4

It's a mobile used bookstore but, kinda sadly, looks like they moved into a physical location but the booktruck was mainly made, according to the video, to inspire other booktrucks into existence.

@echobit this is Daisy Chain Books in Edmonton, Alberta. I don't know if they still run the book mobile anyone, because they now have a store front.

#ALT4you it's a white van with the back door open and shelves full of books on all three walls. The floor is black and white squared and has two small black carpets. There are small lights on the sides and on top of the shelves like at a Christmas tree. In front there is a sign that says "book shop on wheels? Yup"
Show threadFuck Elon MuskDec 5, 2022
@echobit @Flominator The sign reads, "A bookshop on wheels?? Yup. Daisy Chain Book Co. Alberta's only book truck."

@Flominator Thank you so much. Can't update the alt text. Get an error. 😩

@echobit @lampjaded I wonder how they keep the books from flying off the shelf.
Show threadShady JadeDec 5, 2022

@twipped @echobit That's the horrifying part: you get in there and they're just glued to the shelf as the doors close and they drive away with you.

Well, in the dark version.

The real one? Good question! Do they fold? Are there curtains? Do the shelves slope backward enough?

@lampjaded @twipped Thanks, now I'm even more scared.
Show threadReidoDec 6, 2022
@lampjaded @twipped @echobit When I look closely there's little pegs near the floor. My guess is there's wood panels that slip on to those pegs and latch at the top somehow.
