First Sentence
"If books could be more, could show more, could own more, this book would have smells....It would have the smells of old farms; the sweet smell of new-mown hay as it falls off the oiled sickle blade when the horses pull the mower through the field, and the sour smell of manure steaming in a winter barn."
