You have to know what I mean - the smell of a book. The smell the pages create when you flip through them. That smell that comforts you and tells you everything is going to be ok as long as you slip in between these pages. Discuss that new book smell, when you first noticed that books actually had smells, and the books that sniff the best!

Ah, I love that smell. Such a lovely scent indeed.
The first time I remember sniffing a book, I guess I was in middle school? Maybe younger. I had just gotten a brand new manga and I was ecstatic about it and I started smelling the pages. Haha!

I like real old books, like the new old books, if you know what I mean by that... hmmm... a better way to describe it might be to say that I enjoy new books made with old recycled paper, the pages feel really good and the smell is amazing. As if the creation is that of a thousand or more other lives. I don't like the real thick recycled paper, but the stuff that when you can look at it and tell it's been recycled, but is still thin, is what I find the most appealing.
