Buying Books

Though they have a limited purse, students love visiting bookshops browsing and buying, and I am no exception.
Buying books is a pleasant experience for me. The mere touch, or smell of a new book from the shelf of a bookstore is very nice. What delights me most is that there are occasions when I find the very book I have been thinking to buy in the least likely place. I used to believe that you can't buy anything of value in a second-hand book market. One incident changed my opinion. I happened to be in a used-book market. A while later I saw some books of my taste. But it was a seller (a graduate student) who made me realize that second-hand book market is a valuable source. He said that he wanted to sell those books because they were his past that he desired to forget. His words touched me and I gave the market a search and bought a copy that I had been seeking for a long time. It was published in the 70s, the price being unbelievably attractive.
In fact, buying books itself is enjoyable, let alone the reading.
