Quest

The book sale is a long-awaited event for her.

She finds long-forgotten stories, buried secrets, treasure troves of wisdom at incredibly low prices. Whoever said there is a price to be paid for wisdom was dreadfully wrong. The stuff that escaped digitization lies here, taking pride in its exclusivity, outside the control of flying fingers and attention spans lesser than that of a goldfish.

It takes a deep hunger, a life-long search, a quest for everlasting companionship for a seeker to reach this pinnacle. Hail the booklovers, and the musty smell of paper which pervades their thirsty minds and hearts!
