Lello & Irmao Bookstore in Porto, Portugal
“That was unimaginable, not remembering where a book has come from! and where it was bought from! That was part of the whole history, the whole point, of any book that you owned! And when you picked it up later in the house at home, you knew, you just knew by looking and having it in your hand, where it came from and where you got it and when and why you’d decided to buy it.”
—There but for the by Ali Smith, pg 296-297
