Ah, now here’s a bookselling topic that never gets old. The smell of books:
My. Books. Do. Not. Smell. Like. Anything.
There are exceptions, yes. If they accidentally were in the back of my closet when it rained really hard and the back part of the closet got wet because sometimes basement apartments are like that, then yes, they might smell vaguely the same way sheets smell if you leave them damp in the washer for three days at the conclusion of the spin cycle.

She did not address mildew, dry rot, glue decomposition, urea smell etc. Or know the names she was alluding to so poetically.
Flowery Language does not mask Manure.
