I Love the Smell of Old Books

Worked in a secondhand bookstore for years. I miss being surrounded by that smell.

long as you don't come into possession of any moldy volumes.

@muffinman While working there I learned that the best way to get rid of mold is to microwave the book on high for 10 seconds (after being careful to remove all paperclips, stables, etc first, of course lol). Then wipe the dead mold off the covers and spine etc. It works very well :-)

@SW-User but do you still use the microwave to heat up your food?
