Wafting aroma of well-worn books greeted me like an old friend when I recently stumbled into BookQuest, a local jewel but mere miles from my home. The only thing missing from my Christmas in July experience
was Bing Crosby playing in the background.
was Bing Crosby playing in the background.
I marveled at the multitude of shelves filled with used and rare books, many with seasoned autographs inscribed on their flyleaves.
Among my finds that day…a book by a local poet, Bernard Meredith, a late 1800’s poetry book by George Eliot, and a petite paper-bound book of beautifully illustrated poems that may just end up framed on my wall.
BookQuest is located in downtown area of Fountain Inn, SC. If you live nearby, I encourage you to stop by and support this local find — but if you live a little too far away to enjoy this bookstore, be sure to explore a nearby town in search of your own jewel.
Don't you just love the smell of a bookstore?? Ohh the smell of Barnes and Noble… Coffee and books… Ahhh
Thanks for the sense-sational break, Cathy 🙂
Ahhh, yes! Fewer things smell better than the combination of coffee and books. 🙂
Eva Marie and I visited that bookstore when she was here for Word Weavers. We both could have spent hours there!
Glad you found it. 🙂
Me too, Vonda! I enjoyed seeing you today at the conference. 🙂
