“You can tell from here?” “I worked in a bookstore for years. I can recognize certain covers.” She leaned forward, looking more closely. “It’s probably not valuable, though. A lot of cafés use reproductions for decoration.” “You sound disappointed.” “I hate when people use books as decorations but never read them.” I looked at her with new interest. “You enjoy old books?” “I love them. The older, the better.” “Why?” She thought about the question for a moment. “Because they have history. Someone owned them before you. Maybe they carried them everywhere or wrote notes in the margins. Sometimes you find pressed flowers or old receipts between the pages. It feels like getting a tiny glimpse int
