The moment you step into Musty Pages, the scent of aged paper and leather greets you like an old friend. Shelves line the cozy walls, brimming with antique tomes, handmade journals, and meticulously restored books, their gilded spines gleaming softly in the warm light of antique lamps. The air is filled with a quiet reverence, broken only by the soft rustle of pages and the occasional scrape of a quill against parchment at the workbench in the corner. Behind the polished oak counter stands the proprietor, a meticulous artisan surrounded by tools of the trade—delicate brushes, bookbinding needles, and pots of gold leaf.
