I bought a second-hand copy of Dune in a second-hand bookshop today, with a rather yukky maroon cover, but what can you expect for a couple of quid? My previous copy unaccountably disappeared a year or two ago. It had a musty, cinnomon-y smell that I associated with the story; it's what spice smells like, to me.

I love smelling my books. :-P

My first copy of Dune had that nice old book smell too. :) It was an old, musty red one - it was actually my Dad's, a hardback from one of the first printings, but I had to buy a new copy because the binding on his was horribly frayed and I didn't want all the pages to fall out.
