Hmmm. I can't say that I am not guilty of indulging in the occasional whiff of a book.
Hardcover books are good, fresh new textbooks, especially Prentice-Hall could keep me sniffing the bindings for more than a single sniff.
As a child of the 70's, the best paper-based aroma for me was fresh "ditto" copies produced from those school mimeograph machines before photocopiers became widely available to schools in the mid~late 1980s. If it were possible to become addicted to that smell, I'd have been a ditto junkie.

For some reason, I think imported Japanese books smell particularly intriguing...
