Book sniffer, eh? We got a name fer fellers like you: er, um, Book
sniffers.

Actually, the smell of a hard-boiled book can add a certain something to
the reading experience. For instance, I apparently have the same taste in
reading matter as a heavy smoker who also frequents the local public
library. Invariably I open up one of those criminal fictions and the
cloying odor of stale cigar smoke rolls out of the pages.

Really makes those smokey bar scenes come to life. -- Duane
