I hope not as it is my favourite shop. However, I fear you are right!
The smell of books......mmmmmmmm
You are a freak!
Then I'm a freak too. Books have so many different - and evocative - smells. The shiny glossy ones, the cheap ones, the foreign ones, the dusty old 1960s paperbacks... Sniffing a book is part of the ritual of reading it, much like getting the aroma of wine before tasting.
The smell of the book is one of the main reasons I will never own a Kindle.
I much prefer the smell of petrol if im honest.
