Do you know that smell that some books have? The smell that takes you straight into the world in the ink? Something between smoke and wood chips? The smell of what music would smell like? That smell the one of the farthest back shelf in the library? The one where it smells like the hands of those who’ve loved it? Do you know that smell that some books have? The one that can take you anywhere in the world? Any time, anyplace, with any person, of any race? The smell of fresh printers ink and ancient paper? Do you know that smell?

Book smell
Do you know that smell that some books have? The smell that takes you straight into the world in the ink? Something between smoke and wood chips? The smell of what music would smell like? That smell the one of the farthest back shelf in the library? The one where it smells like the hands of those who’ve loved it? Do you know that smell that some books have? The one that can take you anywhere in the world? Any time, anyplace, with any person, of any race? The smell of fresh printers ink and ancient paper? Do you know that smell?
