“There were adventure stories supplied with cloths for mopping your brow, thrillers containing pressed leaves of soothing valerian to be sniffed when the suspense became too great, and books with stout locks sealed by the Atlantean censorship authorities ("Sale permitted, reading prohibited!").

I also saw a Wolperting shop that sold nothing but books on chess and another patronised exclusively by dwarfs with blond beards, all of whom wore eye-shades.”
― Walter Moers, The City of Dreaming Books

“Charles liked poetry because the lines were so short. You could think your own thoughts in the spaces around the print.”
― Diana Wynne Jones, Witch Week
