Wow this is such a confirming post for me and my current dislike of the smell of books. As an allergy sufferer, the smell just makes me want to stay away. (It’s not that I don’t like to read.)
My partner will open a book next to me and start flipping pages, enjoying trying to read, but I will have to get up and move away. I don’t want to feel the air of flipping the pages. It is like someone blowing dust at you, or perfume à la mold.
It is a real thing.
