This calls for a ROO BEER meme. But there aten’t any. So here is the Librarian’s favorite bRoo. #LSpace
if the bare floorboards align with the bookshelves, it would be naive to think that they end at the walls.

'All this was untrue. The truth is that even big collections of ordinary books distort space, as can readily be proved by anyone who has been around a really old-fashioned secondhand bookshop, one of those that look as though they were designed by M. Escher on a bad day and has more staircases than stories and those rows of shelves which end in little doors that are surely too small for a full-sized human to enter. The relevant equation is Knowledge = power = energy = matter = mass; a good bookshop is just a genteel Black Hole that knows how to read.
One of writing’s all time great footnotes. There will never be another like you, Pterry.

"The truth is that even big collections of ordinary books distort space, as can readily be proved by anyone who has been around a really old-fashioned secondhand bookshop, one that looks as though they were designed by M. Escher on a bad day and has more stairways than storeys and those rows of shelves which end in little doors that are surely too small for a full-sized human to enter. The relevant equation is: Knowledge = power = energy = matter = mass; a good bookshop is just a genteel Black Hole that knows how to read." Terry Pratchett, Guards, Guards!
Terry Pratchett often wrote about L-space, the physics of libraries or any sizeable accumulation of books.
In honor of National Library Week, I offer up this excerpt from his novel "Guards, Guards!"

I visited my favourite #secondhand bookshop today - it's a proper Pratchettian L-space kind of shop in an 18th century building. From the outside there are three floors but inside there are five; there's a twisty staircase & several mysterious locked doors. 😍 #bookshops #books #BookSky #LSpace
I just need to find the perfect essential oils formula to create the smell of old books.
Just to create a viable candle for Old Bookstore.
