I have one book that I do care about its smell.
It's a hard back, coffee table book on coin collecting. Not in print anymore and a great read with wonderful pictures. But it has this musty smell. I've owned it for 15 years, bought it new, with the smell. It's the smell that will not die. Fortunately, the smell is contained in the book and only comes out when I open it. I think it's haunted!
This is the book I think of when people talk about the smell of books.
