[aisle] Smelly Books

[Ann Gass]

I think you're referring to people having mentioned that when books smell
like cat urine, it sometimes means there was meth being made in the house.
It (apparently) has an ammonia/vinegar like smell that is similar to urine.

File that under: Things I never thought I would need to know.
