The Distant Hours -Teaser Tuesday

This weeks teaser is brought to you from The Distant Hours by Kate Morton, page 63:

Shelves spanned all four walls, floor to ceiling, and although it was shadowy inside – the windows were cloaked by thick, draping curtains that brushed the ground – I could see they were lined with very old books, the sort with marbled endpapers, gold-dipped edges, and black cloth binding.  My fingers positively itched to drift at length along their spines, to arrive at one whose lure I could not pass, to pluck it down, to inch it open, then to close my eyes and inhale the soul-sparking scent of old and literate dust.

How's that for a description of a book lovers dream?! I thought that was a wonderful quote.
