I have spent significant lifetime in 2nd hand book stores. The only reason I (mostly) stopped is that the library system in my new home country is so amazing that I simply don’t need bookstores anymore, at least not for myself.
Anyhow, the smell of these stores will not be forgotten. And libraries are usually too well ventilated.
Can confirm. I have many fond memories of when book stores were still around.
