The pencil mark and smell are the real giveaway. Don't they smell like kerosene? Yep!

	Had a friend who would often open books he was considering buying..if it did not have the right...smell, he wouldnt buy. He swore he could tell you what year a book was printed by how the interior smelled, but I was always a touch skeptical

	That does sound a little farfetched. Of course if he is sniffing the first page, he can read the date at the bottom of the page.

He swore he could tell you what year a book was printed by how the interior smelled, but I was always a touch skeptical I don't buy the smell-by-year business, but anytime I'm considering a significant purchase (in person, of course) I always smell the book. Mostly for any trace of mold or mildew or anything else that seems out of place, but also because I just love the scent of old newsprint.
