Malvern, In the end the only thing that will get the smell out without damaging the book is time. We bought a book off amazon in 2004 and it started to smell normal about 2008. We had to keep it segregated from the other books as it smelt so strongly of smoke that it was infecting anything near it. In the end, hubby took it to work and left if on a shelf on it's own.
