For me it’s two things: the ‘used book smell’ and the treasures you can stumble upon-open, out of print/hard to find books. Case in point: a few years ago I bought a first edition novel called ‘Lord of the World’ by Robert Hugh Benson, published in 1908. I paid about $106 with tax. It’s in pretty good condition for its age (minus the dust jacket) with some fading on the cover’s lettering. I’ve seen 1945 editions selling for over $400. However, I recently seen the same edition as mine on ABE Books going for $5000. I’m fairly certain that mine is worth we’ll above what I paid for it even if it isn’t as much as the one on ABE’s website.

Boop!

Pretty sure it is

Next thing you know, they’ll be living together with dogs.

First thing that came to my mind.

Does Leeloo have a multi-pass? 😀
