Old Book Smell is Wonderful

[this blog post to be edited & finished later] 

 
One of my favorite scents of all time is old books. In part because books symbolize my love of knowledge, and in part because I worked in rare books and archives for a while (was graduate work focus), and because libraries have often been my happy place.

-- smell with memory and some of mine
-- feelings evoked
-- chemical compounds
-- link to history
