"For me, discovering and
owning an old book is more than simply buying an item or product or
thing, it's like taking hold of a piece of time that I can put my
hands on and absorb. An old book is a bit of enlightenment and warmth
that I can speculate on, wondering what roads it has traveled and what
lives it has seen unfold before it and around it. The presence of an
old book––in my room, on a shelf, or thoughtfully placed in a stack or
displayed on a table––is a tangible bit of history that has been a
part of someone's life, which has wound its way through existence and
finally found its way into mine. And then, at least for a while, I'm
allowed to become a part of its perpetuity, that ultimately will
transcend my own expiration, and pass on to another. Another who I
hope will appreciate sharing its life and journey as much as I did. An
old book is an entity unto itself, and worth more than the words,
wisdom, and worlds between its covers; because an old book is telling
its own story––with its scrapes, and scuffs, and scars––and in its own
very unique way."––Christopher Alan Broadstone
