It's not just old books. Even those just a couple of decades have this too. I recently ordered a second-hand copy Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance after misplacing my own, and it also has that peculiar smell - I love it.
- Tharkun 8y agoIt's one of my favourite smells. Right up there with ripe tomatoes and freshly baked bread. I have very strong & happy associations with all three of those smells. Whenever I pick up a book, I automatically give it a sniff.
