How do you get the smell of cigarette smoke out of

[BubblesDeVere]

a book.

I have just got a book through the post (off ebay) and it smells very very strongly of smoke. Does anyone know how I can get rid of the smell, if I can't get rid of it, i'll have to throw it as I can't read it smelling like that and was hoping to curl up and read it tonight.

put in a pillow case wrap it up tight and put in the tumble dryer on low.

Might work

No real idea

If it wasn't snowing I would suggest the pillow case and hang it on the line.

sprinkle or bury in loads of bicarbonate of soda as that is used to absorb stuff -- or talc?

febreze it and then tumble dry it as suggested?

do you have any febreze (sp?) in the house? How about putting it over a home made washing line and roughly squirting the stuff at it and surrounding it in a cloud of this deodorising thing. I know it is for soft furnishing but I have used it on all sorts when havily smoking mil has been invading and as it isn?t too wet should help.
Alternatively bicarb of soda is meant to be a good deodoriser. Maybe put a load in a plastic bag with the book and give agood shake and leave for an hour or so? Cold make the book a bit dusty but sweeter smelling!
Don?t know what of any sensible suggestions, good luck
