I'd be too much into the bookstore to even notice a girl. First of all, I'd be too self-conscious about what I'm looking for and little too preoccupied with what I'm looking at. Second of all, I tend to take my time whilst at any store if I'm just browsing. Even I get impatient withmyself. Third, if anyone tried to talk to me while I'm in my personal "I'mjustlookingaroundoutofcuriousityandfacination" mode, I'd bumble out something asinine and be all sseb'zeh'ble'bleh'yeeah about it. But when it comes to bookstores by themselves, it's just plain crazy how many hours I can spend there even it is with just a set amount of cash. And that's usually the problem... >_>
If I had $25 to spend and pick out $120 dollars worth of books, I'd have to boil it down to books that I can learn and grow from.
Back to the original topic. xP
If I were confident enough and had the money to use a bookstore like that, I probably would. But in any real case, if the person(female xP) in front of me, at the check out counter, was short of funds to purchase a book or two I'd totally offer to cover the rest. The richness of a kind deed feels a lot more "sharper" than reading a book.
(Oh, I too, like the smell of a new book. Old book smell is almost as good. But, I almost feel bad for them when I hear the cracking of a new book.)
