"ScienceDaily (Dec. 5, 2009) — Scientists may not be able to tell a good book by its cover, but they now can tell the condition of an old book by its smell....."

Oops. Didn't see it here and it definitely seems more like News as opposed to lounge chatter.

Not much discussion there....

Thanks.

I'm pretty sure it's talking about the same thing.

Yes it is. But this article was just posted on Science Daily today and posting here may give other an opportunity to see it. That thread was from several weeks ago and only has two posts.

Whatever. If you wanna delete this one, please feel free.

Just trying to share some interesting info.

No intention of deleting anything, Kenny. Just directing people's attention to the existing thread on the subject.

Thanks. I posted a link in that thread to the Science Daily Article also.

P.S. Some forums are notorious about not duplicating threads. And get agitated about it.
