...that 'ol book smell
...did you know
Lignin, the stuff that prevents all trees from adopting the weeping habit, is a polymer made up of units that are closely related to vanillin.
When made into paper and stored for years, it breaks down and smells good.
Which is how divine providence has arranged for secondhand bookstores to smell like good quality vanilla absolute, subliminally stoking a hunger for knowledge in all of us.
...think about that before downloading your next read on the Kindle or IPad, and support your neighborhood bookstores.
Thanks for reading ;)

I like that old book smell, as long as they haven't become musty from dampness. I like the new book smell too. I still like libraries. When I was younger, I thought I would love to be shut up in a library for a day or night and just peruse all the books that interested me. (as long as the library wasn't haunted, that is. . .)
Funny how I'm on vacation and though my Kindle is packed with TBR, I keep taking paperbacks to the beach.
I love the smell of vanilla. It's such a comforting smell.
Hope all is well with you.
I like the smell of old book stores. I love the smell of leather bound books. But I am a Kindle fan since I can carry a library with me when I transport rare blood. Have a great rest of summer! :-)

In this fashion my partner Wesley Virgin's adventure begins in this SHOCKING and controversial VIDEO.
Wesley was in the army-and shortly after leaving-he found hidden, "self mind control" tactics that the government and others used to obtain whatever they want.
These are the EXACT same secrets many celebrities (especially those who "come out of nowhere") and top business people used to become wealthy and successful.
You probably know that you only use 10% of your brain.
That's because the majority of your brain's power is UNCONSCIOUS.
Perhaps that thought has even occurred INSIDE your own head... as it did in my good friend Wesley Virgin's head seven years ago, while driving an unlicensed, beat-up trash bucket of a vehicle without a license and with $3 in his pocket.
"I'm absolutely frustrated with going through life payroll to payroll! When will I finally succeed?"
You've taken part in those types of conversations, am I right?
Your very own success story is waiting to happen. You need to start believing in YOURSELF.
