Knowing this place, within moments of the scent dispenser going on the market, somebody at MR would figure out how to hack it and convert it to a web cam or something.
Books always smelled like dust to me. That is the smell I imagine whenever I'm reading and the story's characters go into a crypt.
Now, give me a nice stack of freshly mimeographed quizzes, and I'll try to inhale them in one big sniff. I used to love that smell! (Perhaps that explains my disappearing memory of late?)
