Some of the books on my shelf are books that I was given and those I can't guarantee if they were in a smoke free home before mine which is a smoke free home. They have been sitting in my garage so they have been airing out. I can't handle smoke either so I would be glad to let you know if a book smells like smoke or not. I am offering an unlimited deal on my shelf. If you order a paperback book, you get 2 paperback books free. If you order a hardcover book, you get a book free.
