Scribbles in the Margins Quotes

“Each spine with its shelf-mark code in familiar typewriter font, each date stamp a footprint of readers gone before and each shelf with its alphabetical ordering - these things align to provide the orderliness so cherished in a library. There is safety and structure amongst the stacks. Everything has a place, and you have found yours.”
― Daniel Gray, Scribbles in the Margins: 50 Eternal Delights of Books
