" 'Lord!' he said, 'when you sell a man a book you don't sell him just twelve ounces of paper and ink and glue- you sell him a whole new life. Love and friendship and humor and ships at sea by night- there's all heaven and earth in a book, a real book I mean.' "
Christopher Morley, Parnassus on Wheels
Get used to Morley quotes. As I find more of his books and re-read Parnassus and Haunted Bookshop, I will be sharing.
