hangover of choice: the smell of old books https://t.co/O4Ft1ZXXHn— Gemma Wiseman (@AuraGem) June 8, 2020
One bookshop experience I will never forget is my time spent at Berkelouw's Book Barn, Berrima
on the south coast of New South Wales. Many holidays involved a necessary visit there. The bookshop was in the midst of fields...You could park your car and not be surprised to find a cow watching you right outside, (on Bendooley Estate). The bookshop was like a huge rambling ranch style house with a loft. (Since those days, it has now been upgraded to include a cafe.) I loved to visit Berkelouw's in winter. An armchair and the cosy roaring log fire was the place to settle while you browsed your book selection. And yes...the myriad scents of pre-loved books permeated everywhere...
