There's an excellent second hand book store in Glebe, called Sappho Books. They have heaps of old books, first editions, sheet music and a lovely little cafe - that becomes a wine and tapas bar at night!
However, my most recent purchase was a little more modern. I bought it from eBay!
So, do you shop in second hand bookstores? Or do you prefer your books brand-spankin new? Or, do you own an e-reader? I'd love to know!
Hope your day is spectacular :)
If i'm buying a book I prefer a second hand one, I love the smell and feel of old book pages. I tend to borrow books from the library lately - saves the pennies!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely, there's nothing like it! I would love to buy books from libraries, like old stock or something. Once I get a book I just don't want to give it back! :)
DeleteI love that smell, too! It reminds me of growing up, looking through my mom's old books. I am a hybrid reader. Some new books, some used, some electronic... I'll take it all. i just love to read (and I wish I had more time for it).
ReplyDeleteMe too! My parents used to have old books, and that smell always brings back good memories :)
DeleteYep, if I had my way, I'd spend my days reading :) Nothing beats reading in the sunshine with a cuppa!
