As a child do you remember opening a brand new book and smelling it? The smell of the paper and printed ink, that new book scent - stimulating your senses. You could feel the book beckoning you to open and explore its secrets.
So school is back, and all the parents and children have been busy getting all of the school supplies. Do you remember that special fragrance that hit you when you opened a new book? I do! Every time I experienced that scent of paper, ink, and glue I am immediately transported to that tiny bookstore back in Romania, where I used to go to as a child to get my school supplies.
