take a slice of orange or lemon, put it in paper towel to soak some of the juice, when the paper towel is soaked, switch it with dry towel, put the orange/lemon in a towel into a box with the book.

bam, all your books smell like lemon or orange.

I have never come across a book that smells bad except maybe back in elementary when I used to visit the public library.

Some books from used bookstores have the stench of their last owners.

>>4220938
OP, I buy used books all the time and won't read them if they smell. My system usually goes like this:

1) Hairdryer on the stickers so they come off clean
2) Goo gone to remove any other sticky residue—gives a lemony smell
3) Windex-esque glass cleaner on paper towel, clean the front and back cover and spine.
4) With the book closed, rub the covers, spine and outside pages with a dryer sheet
5) Rub inside random pages with the dryer sheet
6) Sit in the sun for an hour or so
7) If really bad, put the book in a zip lock bag with some coffee grounds.

I've gotten rid of a book's cigarette smell like this, but sometimes the smell is so embedded that you'd be better of chunking it.

I don't even drink coffee, but I LOVE the smell of coffee. These are things I forget and then become violently aware of them again randomly.

I love the smell of coffee; but it mainly serves as an odor neutralizer. The books I did that do don't even smell of coffee anymore.
