Like every bibliophile, I love small and cozy bookstores. And whenever we go on vacation or take trips to new places, I automatically keep an eye out for charming little bookshops. For browsing and looking around, but also for taking photos\u2014especially when it\u2019s a beautiful antiquarian bookshop like the one I discovered in Husum.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

I\u2019ll be honest, I\u2019m probably a bit of an odd one out here: I don\u2019t really like old books. Okay, really old ones are beautiful, of course\u2014everyone loves those. But I definitely prefer new prints: crisp white pages, clean, finely bound, with a clear typeface. Neat and tidy, which is probably because I\u2019m a software developer (if you don\u2019t keep your software tidy, it tends to blow up in your face rather quickly). But still, I really enjoy browsing in antiquarian bookshops and always get a kick out of finding a classic I\u2019ve already read\u2014and seeing that it had exactly the same text many years ago.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The following picture shows the view from the entrance into the shop. I love shelves like these, and I think it\u2019s a pity there isn\u2019t a bookstore organized exactly like this\u2014but with new books on the shelves (which, of course, should still be classics).<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

In addition to books, there were also some decorative items and even a few new books. And it was quite lively in that little shop. People really seem to love such charming places. It\u2019s a shame that small bookstores are being replaced by online shopping and that these cozy havens are slowly dying out and disappearing.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Anyone looking at these photos can probably smell the scent of old books right now. If you live nearby, I can only recommend a visit. I picked up The Rider on the White Horse<\/a> by Theodor Storm. However, I bought it as a new book\u2014though with a very old-fashioned look\u2014so, a kind of compromise between antiquarian charm and a modern reprint.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

In any case, I plan to go hunting for beautiful antiquarian bookshops in Munich. I\u2019m still searching for a lovely leather-bound fairy tale book with charming illustrations\u2014thick and properly old school. So if anyone has a recommendation for me, please share! My classics, however, I\u2019ll still get as new editions. A freshly printed book is simply smoother, feels better in the hand, and remains my favorite companion.<\/p>\r\n\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
