#old smell

Research scientists at the University College, London, have published a paper exploring why that “old book smell” is so appealing. “omgg i LOOVE that old book smell,” one of the scientists said. “it just smells so good, like there’s nothing really like it. i also like how new books smell but its different.” Another scientist elaborated: “THIS IS WHY EBOOKS ARE NEVER GOING TO TAKE OFF. Fuck your Kindle. Fuck your iPad (seriously). There is NO substitute for that old book smell.” The researchers cited a .jpg of film director John Waters overlaid with the quote “We need to make books cool again. If you go home with somebody and they don’t have books, don’t fuck them” as a crucial text and emphasised that you should especially not fuck them if they don’t have any old books on account of that old book smell
