    The really old (from 1985) English-Russian dictionary...It's nice that I don't use it!!!

    Hope this thread isn't considered too old to post in.

    Usually I find that the thicker books are the more worse smelling ones.

    Haha, all the bigger books I have were the better-smelling ones!

    I've never smelled my books before. I picked up some right now, and none of them smelled that bad, but out of them all, this one turned out to be the rankiest. Not surprising though, since it's way old.

    We're reading King Lear by William Shakespeare in AP English right now. Brand new book, has a funny smell when I fall asleep reading it. Kind of a chemical smell that makes me drowsy and sick, but in a good way.

    Yeah. There's something about Bibles and their super thin pages that smell bad in my opinion.

    Weird topic. Uhm...I like the smells of all books, it's a very nice smell to me. Although I'd probably have to say my old copy of To Kill a Mockingbird. It was just really really old and had been rotting in my closet.

    My copy of The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano spells like fish and crab :O_O:
