Sarah why did you reply to me personally, instead of the group? Thanks for the idea, I did find one that said you can fill the bottom of a large plastic bag with baking soda and leave the book in it for a couple of days. It's suppose to absorb the odor. I have a couple of boxes of books and was hoping there would be a faster way. I would need a lot of plastic boxes or bags and tons of baking soda, or lavender lol!
Peggy & The Girls Check on the net first because I'm not 100% sure but I do recall that bread rubbed over the spine and pages will take the odor off. Short of that put them in a storage box, plastic, with a couple of ounces of lavender and leave for a bit. Good luck! I love old books but sometimes, whooo stinky!

Had some books stored away in boxes and I can't stand the smell on them. Thanks, Peggy
