It's International Book Lovers Day!
And, if you're reading this, chances are you are a book lover!
Here's some fun facts about books:
• There's believed to be around one hundred and thirty million books in existence!
• A book lover is known as a Bibliophile - I have a curated Bibliophile Collection of designs.
• Do you love the smell of old books? Me too! The No Books HQ office exudes that unique scent of old book stores - the word for that is "Vellichor", who knew!?
• Alice In Wonderland was based on a real wee girl, who was a family friend of Lewis Carroll!
• Abibliophobia is the fear of running out of books to read - or, in my case, to fold!
• Part of the M6 Motorway contains 2.5 million copies of Mills & Boon. Yeah, really more here
• The UK alone, publishes around 185,000 new books every single year. Globally that figure is around 900,000.
What's YOUR favourite book fact? I'd love to hear!
