The scent (sense) of book

I have a strange foible that whenever I'm in a bookshop, I like to breathe deeply. I love that scent of books which never fails to give me a nerve-tangling joy. Of course a primitive like me also like that solid and physical feeling of a real book - how you can count the pages which you have read, how a page creases by raindrops or teardrops, how pages are all turned yellow by the passing of time.

Book rocks! (e-book, boo...)

Sound like a book-lover. No, no, far from it. I read too slow and too little (I've only read 2 books so far this year *shhhh*). But book-making-lover? Yes, yes! I found great fun in it.

My first "proper" handmade book. (as in the past, my books are too "amateur" ;p)

如果是喜愛的書,內容可能令你有更多的幻想或feeling了。
用線穿成的書很classic, 手工好好喎, 相信那書的內頁一定很有紀念性,或者是不是什的祕笈來 ?!
