The best bookshops smell faintly of rain even when the sky is clear, paper and dust and something like quiet. This is a slow walk through those narrow aisles: the soft footsteps on old floorboards, the hush between shelves, the pleasure of running a hand along spines with no plan to buy anything. Gentle, unhurried, and made for the kind of browsing that settles the mind toward sleep.
