Different authors and restaurateurs have their opinion about the smell that books. Some say it is because of the dust that accumulates on the books, sometimes mixed with moisture, and when entering a library feels so characteristic smell. But around the web I found this article about the smell that books.
When we open a book that smell that comes their pages yellowed and frayed. But what makes the books have this smell so good? We think that books are made of organic materials, mostly, to the role, according to the types of inks (inks coal ferrogàliques), adhesives, fibers, ... Being organic materials such elements react with the environment aicar that around them: heat, light, humidity, contact between them and people. Freeing volatile chemical compounds. It is the same smell when we enter a library full of books in a bookstore where they sell or the latest news. But most books are made of the same materials aicar the variety of reactions is very limited.
Researchers examined a series of books and found that gave off the same compounds, aicar except for some of each particular book. All are clear markers of the degradation of organic compounds books. As acetic acid, benzaldehyde, butane fufural, octanal and others. These compounds are the generators of the smell of old books. We must remember that each book can have its particular smell, due to the person who has owned it. If you were a smoker, aicar coffee drinker or had pets.
