I just had a weird respect (and deep love) for books ever since I was a small child.
One of the most pleasing things in the world is when I buy an old book and inside I find an old, relevant newspaper cutting that a previous owner has left there - it's something I do myself regularly.
A couple more, if I may be so bold:
Full Circle: Shakespeare and Moral Development by Alan Hobson
The Progress of the Soul by Richard E Hughes (a biography of JOhn Donne)
