I ordered a used book on ThriftBooks and it clearly came from a smoker. I am upset because I can’t get past the smell!! It smells like old cigarette smoke and it really bothers me. I tried disinfecting it and a bunch of brown liquid came off the cover. Do I call it and just re-donate or is there a way to get the smell out of at least cover it up?

NOOO idea if this works or not with books, BUT it works for smelly gym shoes.
Put it in the freezer overnight. Let me know if it works or if you find a better solution
Try a couple dryer sheets tucked into the pages, put in a plastic bag, and leave it alone for a day or so. This has worked for me a couple times.
