The man is inspirational. Mike Scott's world:
"The quality of a bookstore depends not only on its contents, but on how its contents are organised; and the contents of a good, true bookstore are arranged in a coherent system that in ways unique to the particular purpose and interests of each such store honours the seeking of the human mind to learn, to understand, to be transported, to share experience and to be a participant in magic. In the same way that a great cathedral is an expression of the aspirations of the human soul, so does a great bookstore or library reflect the landscape of the human mind. A great bookstore is like a walk-around map of the human mind and memory, and browsing in a great bookstore is an experience of moving naturally and easily through the highways, arenas and alleys of the human imagination.
Or, to put it another way: in a great bookstore you should be able to lose yourself, forget all about time and discover wonders."
Everytime he writes I'm always impressed by his pure eloquence.
