Is it normal to love the smell of a new book?

I love the smell of a book worm.

I prefer old book smell

i like the smell of old books

I love the smell of new and old books. I used to be able to tell the decade of a book (60s - present) just by smell. My favourite was from the 70s. IMO that's a lot less normal than liking the smell of new books.

Unused toilet paper smells better.

Acid free paper smells the best.

It's the smell of the printer's ink that used to get me, but books don't smell as they used to. I used to inhale deeply walking past a newspaper office or a print shop but now it's all phocopiers, not the same any more ....

I do love to open up a brand new book no-one else has read, but usually buy second hand ones which sometimes have very strange smells
