At the library-
the bane of every bibliopole-
‘Treasures’ are for the taking.
The true value of a book
isn’t physically tangible.
Because of this,
Human inspiration,
imagination, and aspirations,
Can never be stolen
But rather surrendered by pseudointellectuals.

I cannot imagine life without books 😊 . Well written and my feelings too.
😊 👍 Thank-you!
Very true!
Thanks, Keith.
My local bookseller works closely and well with the community library. They are not competitors.
For bookmen, it is often about the physical tangible book, especially the rare and valuable that matters. 🙂
They do smell delightful. Their aroma is the smell of adventure. What’s inside is always bigger than the container but appreciation of both is nice.
