As we say goodbye to summer and hello to long, dark evenings, there’s nothing better than curling up with a new book.
Part of the attraction of the real thing, rather than the electronic version, is the smell: that sweet aroma of a secondhand volume (the notes of vanilla and almond are caused by the breakdown of chemical compounds in the paper) or the fresh, crisp scent of a brand new novel.
But, of course, the real thing requires shelf space. These six properties are all perfect for acquisitive book worms.
