The fragrance between the pages...

Just thinking of my book worm days... I miss those, but love this!

I stepped into the bookshop and breathed in that perfume of paper and magic that strangely no one had ever thought of bottling.

It is a witty quote, but I really love the smell of new books.

I actually love the smell of old ones too... inside corner-in-the whole libraries (which now seem to be a thing of the past), the smell of paper and age is so strong...

next best thing after the smell of earth after first rains.

It might yet be easier to bottle memories of the fragrance than the fragrance itself.

But I wish it were possible.
