“Bookstores are lonely forts, spilling light onto the sidewalk. ... “Bookshops are places of endless entertainment and renewal – what's not to love?” – ... “Bookshops are my natural habitat.” – Kathy Lette. “Bookshops are places of magical discoveries and the rediscovery of past pleasures. Until I feared I would lose it, I never loved to read. ... “There is no friend as loyal as a book.” ... “Never trust anyone who has not brought a book with them.” ... “The reading of all good books is like conversation with the finest (people) of the past centuries.”
