“ As I leave (right at closing), the clerk of The Book Exchange takes the time to carefully wrap the cover of my new book in clear plastic to protect it from future damage. His hands move meticulously to mark folds and create the casing with utmost care. I’m struck by the time he’s taking, despite the fact that the store closes in five minutes. He does not seem rushed. He’s not rushing me. He clearly loves books and wants to care for them. I appreciate his dedication. I remember to sketch this mini-collection - my way of marking the deep, slow adventure of discovery I find in bookstores and libraries.”
