I have gone to [this bookshop] for years, always finding the one book I wanted - and then three more I hadn’t known I wanted.

My depth of purse is not so great
Nor yet my bibliophilic greed,
That merely buying doth elate:
The books I buy I like to read:
Still e'en when dawdling in a mead,
Beneath a cloudless summer sky,
By bank of Thames, or Tyne, or Tweed,
The books I read — I like to buy.

A. Edward Newton
