As with everything else, which smells we like is a purely subjective thing. And I've always assumed that the only ones who know what a freshly printed book smells like are the ones handling it when it leaves the printing press (or whatever they use for printing these days). By the time I get ti from the store, it's not a fresh book anymore.

And the best smell in the world is either clean warm skin or fresh coffee.
