I love the aroma of a used bookstore. It’s so similar to a bakery, scents wafting leisurely, whetting the appetite in my mind’s stomach while simultaneously soothing me, the memory of a long ago grandma inviting me in, feeding me with her homemade bread, pie or pasta, regaling me with stories from years ago as we both sip her dark coffee.

:) Nostalgia wrapped in the scent of paper. A second-hand bookstore can feel like a grandmother’s hug

Oh wow! Thankyou so much for sharing this. I have been a regular to Blossoms and Bookworm but missed visiting Select altogether. What a shame! :(

Now I know where to go first when I am towards Brigade road.

Actually, same here. I also end up at Bookworm, Blossoms and Sapna usually and miss Select. Not the last time I was there.
