Makes me think if the mimeographed worksheets in elementary school. Better than glue. 🤣
Wow this is such a confirming post for me and my current dislike of the smell of books. As an allergy sufferer, the smell just makes me want to stay away. (It’s not that I don’t like to read.) My partner will open a book next to me and start flipping pages, enjoying trying to read, but I will have to get up and move away. I don’t want to feel the air of flipping the pages. It is like someone blowing dust at you, or perfume à la mold. It is a real thing.
I used to work at a library, and about 10% of the books had a pleasing aroma, and the other 90% smelled like literal ass.
New books made with the latest technology should last longer than old books, right?
A lot of more modern books yellow much easier. I forgot why, but something to do with how the paper is made.

Books contain lignin?
Lignin balls lmao gottem
Does this account for the permeability of the paper and how it will smell sweet after being in a sugar factory or similar place?
Breweries would have an alcohol smell…
Smoker takes it home for a couple weeks.
