Dear Irene,
A method I have used with some success for getting rid of "smells" is
to put the offending object into a black plastic bag, a fair amount
of coffee grounds (dry, not used) and seal the bag up and put in the
sunshine for a number of days. For books it takes longer because you
have to open the bag, ruffle the pages so they are loose and close up
again and leave out in the sunshine for several more days. If you
keep at it long enough it might work for you. I suppose it depends
on how much the book means to you. Something else you might consider
doing is taking the book to the photo copy store or scan it at home
and print out what you want to use and put the book in a plastic bag
and leave on the shelf.
