The longer nights and cooler temperatures of autumn are perfect for browsing through a good bookstore — and leaving with an armful of books.
“There were fewer finer things in life … than spending time perusing the shelves of a good bookshop.” ― George Mann
“The truly wide taste in reading is that which enables a man to find something for his needs on the sixpenny tray outside any secondhand bookshop.” ― C.S. Lewis
“To my mind there is nothing so beautiful or so provocative as a secondhand bookstore.”
―Lionel Barrymore
“Perhaps that is the best way to say it: printed books are magical, and real bookshops keep that magic alive.” ― Jen Campbell
“Books are an escape route. A refuge…. a tunnel to the outside world. A glimmer of something beyond.”―Chloe Coles
“Reality doesn’t always give us the life that we desire, but we can always find what we desire between the pages of books.”― Adelise M. Cullens
Happy reading!
