Books just age with you. The paper cuts you get when you first turn the pages with your fingers, to the smell of the books. The yellow spots on them is a sign of ageing. Or even the dust that have collected on the cover of the book. The dog-eared pages at the corner which forms a triangle. They are and will always be lovely at any stage.

A little library, growing larger every year, is an honourable part of a man’s history. It is a man’s duty to have books. A library is not a luxury, but one of the necessaries of life. Henry Ward Beecher
