This is more than mildly interesting, I love it and love the smell of books!!

New books made with the latest technology should last longer than old books, right?

Fiivemacs ,

LOL not if capitalism is involved.

'latest technology ’ usually just means planned obsolescence and as a service costs…so no, they probably won’t last long at all.

A lot of more modern books yellow much easier. I forgot why, but something to do with how the paper is made.

Everythingispenguins ,

The paper has acid in it as a by-product of modern paper manufacturing. They specifically make acid free paper for archival reasons.

Does this account for the permeability of the paper and how it will smell sweet after being in a sugar factory or similar place?

Breweries would have an alcohol smell…

Smoker takes it home for a couple weeks.

Wow this is such a confirming post for me and my current dislike of the smell of books. As an allergy sufferer, the smell just makes me want to stay away. (It’s not that I don’t like to read.) My partner will open a book next to me and start flipping pages, enjoying trying to read, but I will have to get up and move away. I don’t want to feel the air of flipping the pages. It is like someone blowing dust at you, or perfume à la mold. It is a real thing.

(sorry to intrude). This has had a few cross-posts on Lemmy - this one technically wasn’t, but it seems Lemmy has picked up on it. If you want some ALT text, and to reply to author of this image, the link that goes to !tails provides that.

I used to work at a library, and about 10% of the books had a pleasing aroma, and the other 90% smelled like literal ass.

As someone who’s allergic to paper mold. I hate this.

I believe most paints have been switched over to having low VOC content due to increased cancer risk. That means book reading might be cancerous to your health! (Or maybe not.)
