“Books smell and feel better. They have that wonderful thingness of turning the pages.”
“I just love the smell of an old book store and the feel of the crisp pages along my fingertips.”
“I know every book of mine by its smell, and I have but to put my nose between the pages to be reminded of all sorts of things.”
“Nothing can compare to the feeling evoked by turning the page in a great book.”
“You know you've read a good book when you turn the last page and feel a little as if you have lost a friend.”
“Old books exert a strange fascination for me -- their smell, their feel, their history; wondering who might have owned them, how they lived, what they felt.”
