Technology makes life pretty darn convenient. Most people would admit to that. But, there are some things to which technology can never really compare. Like picking up an old, used book, listening to the slight crack of the spine as you open it. And…the smell. Can you close your eyes and just breathe in that old book smell? Well, if you love books, plan a visit to this enormous used book warehouse in Pennsylvania that sells a treasure trove of used books. (You’ll find the latest books and plenty of rarities, too.)
