I love the feel and that special smell of a new book, the look of the dustjacket, looking forward to reading the first chapter, turning the first page and turning the last.
I've had a book in my hand since I was a teeny girl and my grandchilden have had a books in their hands since they were just a few months old. My OH reads every evening. The library or the bookshop is always the first place I go to when on holiay; was the first place the children were taken at the start of holidays and this has followed through to the next generation.
How can some hard plastic thing ever compete with the real thing?
Books will never die out whilst I have breath in my body.
