Why Do Old Books Smell?

 

Another wonderful short video from AbeBooks I discovered on YouTube discussing why old books smell and a tip on how to best store books.

    1. For me it depends... I generally like the smell of old books, but if they smell musty, then no.

  2. Me too. When I open an old book from the library or a used book outlet, I just have to breathe it in.

    1. Nothing like the smell of books! I've even heard of book scented candles, although I haven't smelled one.
