Want to track the degrading quality of your favorite book? Science can analyze the smell coming off of a book to see what's happening in its disintegration.
While technically this is intended for old manuscripts and books, probably at libraries and museums and the like, I think this is most useful for determining which old used books I should buy, based on how long it will take for them to fall apart.
Combreviations: helping cheap people skimp on used books since 2009.
