"Do you know that books smell like nutmeg or some spice from a foreign land? I loved to smell them when I was a boy. Lord, there were a lot of lovely books once, before we let them go". - Faber, the retired English professor in Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451.

The scent of old books always makes me think of this quote.
