About This Quote

The blank look on the face of a book lover is a common sight. They do not usually have any expression and their eyes look as if they are looking at an empty wall. Their skin is pale and they look as if they have not seen the sun in a long time. Clients often come to us with this kind of appearance, but we must ask them to smile and show us that their smile is genuine.

In the world of books, books are the great source of beauty. The exterior beauty of a book is best displayed on its inner qualities.
