“The first way Maya approaches a book is to smell it.”
This speaks to me

Once we had to read...The way the previous owner had loved and cared for the book, the worn down the edges with frequent readings, or the chocolate finger print right at the point when the Artful Dodger lifts the gentlemen‘s pocketbook?... would it really be the same if I didn‘t feel the weight of it in my hand?... It conveys the labor that went into its creation. The effort of filling each page, word by word, thought by thought.

Good book in the sun a couple of weeks ago.
