you know you’re a bookseller if
1. You can’t crack spines of paperbacks, and hold your books in a particular way to maintain spine integrity.
2. You find yourself appreciating the scent of paper.
3. Your personal library is alphabetized, or organized by genre.
4. You consider books to be interior decoration.
5. You own multiple editions of the same book, because you have to have all its iterations.
6. You know what Brodarting is and may know how to do it yourself.
7. You think most of the books on the bestseller list aren’t worth your time.
8. You buy books you know you will never read, just because they look good on your bookshelf.
9. Your living space becomes inhabited by piles and piles of books after the huge bookshelf you bought becomes overwhelmed with them.
10. You once fell in love with a fictional character.
