“A good bookshop is just a genteel Black Hole that knows how to read.”

“It is clear that the books owned the shop rather than the other way about. Everywhere they had run wild and taken possession of their habitat, breeding and multiplying, and clearly lacking any strong hand to keep them down.”

― Agatha Christie

My son shares my love of books, so when we were walking in downtown Berkeley, the first place we stopped at, after brunch, was the bookstore :))

I also learned that Berkeley has no chain stores at all

Not even a Mickey D's!

He has been there for 4 years and its a fact I did not know :))

I was utterly impressed!!

Only mom&pop stores, all so quaint and beautiful

One reason why he does not eat fast food when home ;)

 

This bookstore was full of mostly used books

We spent an hour there, and I could have spent an entire day without knowing where the time went.

Bought a book he wanted me to read

The feel of a used book is unlike another

There is so much love within the pages

 

I much prefer pages to the Nook I own, and that I've probably used to read only one book :/

I like the touch and feel of paper, as my eyes skim the words

It is such beautiful pleasure :))

 

LOL...

Now that's rambling for ya :))))

 

Have a beautiful day, my dear friends

Your support means the world to me

Thank you for always making the time for my images
