Stinking books. Ugh!

Hulbert, OK(Zone 7a)

Yesterday I bought a few incredible books of size
from a yard sale. The bad news?
The books smell horrible!

It is one of those 'never clean the house, never open
the window and chain smoke' type smells. These books
are fabulous, but I'm considering regifting them to the
Goodwill if I can't get rid of the stench of cigarette smell.

Help!

Short of putting an entire box of fabric softener sheets
between the pages, does anyone have any suggestions?
I don't want to cover up the smell, I want to get rid of it.
Ugh! Nasty, nasty, nasty!

Many thanks,
Karen Marie
