WHY WE LOVE TO SPEND TIME IN A BOOK STORE?

  

 

 

Physical bookstores help you use not one sense organ but many. You read (vision), smell, touch altogether making it more of a happy experience. Books not only appeal to explicit but also implicit memory. It gives warmth and comfort and helps to get relaxed.

 The good reasons for going to a bookstore is to be around books. To be in an environment where it's quiet and where you can grab a cup of Joe, and take your time to browse the different sections of books. Oh my, I love going in bookstores to look at all the books, to wish I could have the time to read them all

 Part of the joy of going to a bookstore is that you can browse thousands of books all at once. Sure you can do that on Amazon, but what you can't do is pick up a book and read it. The smell, the fresh feeling of the pages as you flick through the book, replaced by a collection of images on a carousel.

 BOOK STORES SMELL GOOD:

Paper is an organic material, and with age the components are broken down by acid hydrolysis, giving off volatile and semi-volatile organic compounds (VOCs) into the air, which may have hints of vanilla (vanillin), almond (benzaldehyde) or musky florals (ethyls, tolulene, and hexanol).

 PURPOSE OF A BOOK STORE:

 The main purpose of a bookstore is to provide a place for people to discover, explore, and purchase different types of written content. Whether it's fiction, non-fiction, self-help, or educational materials, a bookstore is where people can go to find all these options in one location.

 

 Thus from the sensory experience of browsing the shelves to the personalized recommendations from knowledgeable staff, shopping at a physical bookstore is a delightful experience. It also benefits the community, including supporting local businesses, building a sense of community, and preserving a cultural institution.
