⛵ La Grande Remontée | Jour 02
Mardi 2 septembre au matin, une navigation entre pluie et soleil pour cette 2e journée dans l'estuaire.
Un bateau a rejoint la flotte lundi soir. Arrivée en fin de matinée à Saint-Jean-de-Boiseau, à la Déhale, une guinguette associative qui avait accueillie le démarrage de la Grande Remontée 2023. Après le rituel du Don de l'aval et une discussion portant sur les carnavals, rituels et fêtes de Loire, les équipage y ont passé la soirée en musique.

Lundi 1er septembre, la flottille a quitté Saint-Nazaire pour rejoindre Cordemais. Un départ matinal pour permettre de profiter de la "montante" et d'une météo qui a permis de sortir les voiles ! 🤩
À l'arrivée, la 10aine de bateaux et leurs équipages ont été accueillis par les Amis du port de Cordemais. Puis visite de Terre d'estuaire, lieu de médiation scientifique. En début de soirée, premier temps artistique et scientifique de La Grande Remontée.

It's more often called library smell. If you go to a local library, they will have many books with accurate descriptions of this smell. And you can smell it yourself there as well, as the name may have given away.
These small old bookshops have the same smell, but it is more intense, because their books are on average further along the colonization processes that aid microbial decomposition.
Looks nice, but what if you're moving in a wheelchair or with a stroller?
agreed
there's a bookstore here in Vancouver that has this level of mess and they've been getting in trouble with the fire department for years
https://www.straight.com/arts/macleods-books-faces-day-of-reckoning-with-vancouver-fire-department
that was my 3rd thought:
1. oh wow, how neat!!
2. they need to have a half off sale
3. OMG, if that ever catches fire. I would think the fire dept just automatically "goes defensive" on that and tries to protect any exposures. No way they are sending anybody interior. (talk about "know your target hazards" 🙄 sheesh!)
@MsMerope @Mab_813 @secretgeek
what do you mean sending anybody interior? just out of curiosity
and yeah I love a good overflowing bookstore with rare goodies but as a library person I also understand how weeding and collection management are important heh
fire personnel typically know the buildings in their "first in" area.
Firefighters would already know that that building was a hazard:
access and egress is restricted due to all the aisles being full of books.
There is no good way for a firefighter in full turnouts and SCBA to navigate those aisles without knocking stuff over and possibly cutting off their exit route. Then... add dragging a fully charged fire hose through those stacks. Not gonna work.
Once you start adding water to that? Those books become water logged and heavy - shelves may fail.
Heck, if those shelves aren't sturdy and well secured? a stream of water out of a fire hose might be enough to knock those shelves down. - again, another firefighter entrapment issue.
So firefighters would already know the building's risks. No firefighters would be inside that building.
As you know paper burns quickly, and would produce a lot of smoke: it's usually the smoke that kills people not the actual fire itself.
The first arriving crews might force the front door, see dark, black smoke down to the floor, back off, and call for a 2nd alarm.
Most likely for a building like that? The truck companies would set up a master stream and just soak the building from above.
I like used bookstores with vast stock, but I also appreciate when they organize their shelves, and provide accessibility to their customers.
Also I can't go in. Not often. My TBR's are too vast already.
I could not bring myself to go in there, even if I knew they had something I wanted.
@secretgeek Agreed!!
That's how I felt at @BonnettsBooks
@secretgeek Intense flashbacks to the legendary Gould's bookstore in Sydney.
When the old pinko kicked it, the new owners sorted the books! They put them on shelves, in predictable order.
Apparently it's still in business, but they must have found a new market.
Use the Force, Luke!
@secretgeek If you’re ever in Glasgow:

Oh yes, those were the days. I used to look forward to visiting "The Bookswop" on Lanzarote every vacation. It's no longer the same though since the original owner died. And I am no longer into dead tree edition books as I used to be either.
God no. Horizontal books shelving is a crime against humanity.
