There's something so pleasant to wander through a store that sells paper. I mean, their main product is paper. Not a store that sells everything, including paper that one might be able to use in book making.
Paper. Different colors, sizes, textures. From different parts of the world. Yeah.
A store that stocks so many different shades of the same color. Huge rolls of paper. Handmade paper.
Paper that excites my imagination. Paper that just begs to become part of a book cover or inside pages.
There is a store like this where I used to live, and I am certain there is one here in Austin. I just haven't discovered it yet. If you know of a good paper store, please let me know.
I know of online sources for paper (including the store I mentioned), but it doesn't replace the store experience, seeing the colors and variety.

Makes me think of Hiromi Paper in San Francisco and Paper Routes in Dallas. In Austin, there is the Paper Place near Central Market on 38th and Lamar. It is primarily a stationers rather than an artists supply, but it also carries my other weakness: fountain pens, gel pens, writing tools and ink.
