Go to your local pet store and get a bag of activated carbon pellets, a
good grade.

Put the carbon and the book into a plastic bag.  Mix thoroughly, allowing
the carbon between pages, between the cover and the dust jacket --
everywhere you can.

Close the bag tightly, stand the book on its edge (spine up) and fan the
pages open so the book will stand like a pup tent in the bag.

After a few days, mix it all up and do it again.

After a week, take the book out and check it.  Repeat as necessary, but you
might need fresh carbon.

Good luck.  Let me know how it goes...
