It’s almost cliché to say that one likes the musty smell of old books. It also has a scientific basis of sorts. Proust was definitely on to something with his tisane and madeleines. But I had never really thought about the sight of books as being a source of sentimental joy. This website posts pictures of collections of books: from messy reading nooks with piles of books on the floor to giant sterile libraries. Some are quite innovative and might even get an eyebrow raise from interior design folks. Check it out!
