book death

The odour that assaults your nose every time you open a old used school book or an old book in the library.

A mixture of (but not limited to) mold, condensation, urine, deteriorating paper and dying childhood dreams.

"My 'Macbeth' book smells funky"
"Awe man, that's the stench of book death"
