I don't think the 'small' of books is all that fabulous

Most of mine either don't smell like much of anything, or they do smell, kind of musty and damp-ish. Certainly the pocket book kind of paperbacks, often that paper does not age well. The 'smell' of real books is hardly a selling point for me.
