[LM_NET] GEN: removing cigarette smell from paperback book

["DeFrank, Karen" <kdefrank@GLASSBOROSCHOOLS.US>]

I need help.

One of my great readers returned Twilight today. I asked her how she liked it and 
she said she couldn't read it. It reeks of cigarette smoke. She said it made her 
eyes burn.

I told her I would bring it home and try to fix it.

I have left it sitting open and sprayed it with febreeze at least three times. It's 
damp but it still reeks.

Do you have any suggestions?

I am thinking about asking the last person who had it to buy the library a new 
copy. Yes, it's that bad. Damaged beyond repair, unless one of you has a great idea.
