The yellowing is more of an issue with the clothing than the books or patterns, I'd say. The value of any books and patterns will be reduced a little, but less than if the clothing is yellowed. Not necessarily rendering the clothing worthless, as there are more ways to get marks and stains out of the clothes than the books. As far as the smell goes, I have to say that the best thing in the world for getting rid of cigarette smoke smell is just plain fresh air! (which can be indoor smoke free air as well as outdoor). Sympathies on the smokiness though - I once moved into a flat that had to have the ceiling scrubbed with neat bleach to get rid of the tar.
