What draws you back to the Cellar?

If it's on the internet, people don't take it as seriously. There is something satisfying about sitting with an eight pound book on your lap, leafing through it to find a variety of treasures other than that which you seek! The experience of directly interacting with a printed dictionary is so very different than using the search engines provided for the online varieties — No, perhaps I didn't actually mean "noodle" or "nodding," and if I need to establish that "frog" is an obscure definition for "paddock" I am totally out of luck.
