Just walking in here is exciting. For some reason secondhand books are almost like you're looking at a little piece of history or something. I can't explain it.

About
The Strand is a really amazing bookstore. I could be in here all day—I just get lost in books. I even love the smell of books. Just walking in here is exciting. For some reason secondhand books are almost like you're looking at a little piece of history or something. I can't explain it. Whereas if I went into a brand new bookstore, I don't get that same feeling.
