Books so special and rare and yours that advertising your affection feels like a betrayal.

Summary

This quote conveys the deep sense of attachment and ownership one may feel towards certain books. It suggests that these books are unique and hold such personal value that publicly expressing one’s love for them feels disloyal, as if revealing something sacred or intimate. The quote speaks to the idea that the connection between a reader and their most cherished books is special and private, and that sharing this affection commercially or through advertising would somehow cheapen or dilute the personal connection.
