“Rosemary inhaled the dusty, sweet scent of old books and worn leather and sipped her tea. She remembered reading somewhere that old books smell of vanilla, due to the lignin in them, which was apparently similar to vanillin, and wondered if that's why everyone said they liked the smell of books.” — Nadia El-Fassi
