In the time of Kindle and iBooks it lovely to see the second hand books stall at Southbank still attracting attention. There is something about holding a book. The feel, the smell, the age, the size, each one is different. A book gets damaged, worn, aged. You can interact with it because it is tactile. Whilst I think digital books have there place for ease, cost etc, . And the best part of the decline hand book industry is you can find reasonably prices treasures!
What do you think?
I think books have a magic that I hope is never lost!

I like ereaders, they’re convenient and they facilitate reading. Although, there’s something special and magical about physical books that makes them irreplaceable.
I agree, thanks for commenting!
I definitely agree. There’s something especially cool about used books and using the text and illustrations, or even just the blank end pages in crafting is so much fun.
