I Love the Smell of Old Books

Seriously, nothing more enjoyable than opening up an old book and smelling that distinctive scent. Its a wonder that they haven't made candles with the scent it for bookworms like me :P

My oldest book is from 1877.

Part of a set of books for making 'anything'.

The section on how to prepare nitro-glycerine...(frighteningly east...btw)...ends with "great care must be taken when transporting it in its unprotected state...(protected being in an aqueous solution), otherwise there may be dreadful accidents"!

New books are equally sexy.

The sexiest possible gifts between two people.

[c=#800055]I can't say that I love the smell of old books, but I am a book lover. [/c]

Or an air freshener named Old Library Room

I agree.. new books smell good too but there's something else in an old book that only time can give.
