In a desire to differentiate her novel from others (and create publicity) author Jennifer L. Armentrout along with Hellmann’s have released a collectable edition of her newest novel<\/a> ‘The Primal of Blood and Bone’ which is printed with garlic-infused ink. At first when I read this I thought this is a cool idea. Even John Scalzi made a joke that he is going to print a cheese scented version of his book ‘When the Moon Hits Your Eye’ where the moon suddenly is made of Cheese. <\/p>\n

But after thinking about it for a bit, I am not so sure of it. Garlic has a strong smell and while I love eating Garlic, it’s smell is not something I would want to linger in my room. If I buy the book then every time I enter my study there would be a faint but measurable smell of garlic in the room and it would drive me nuts. <\/p>\n

If the book is kept in a glass shelf every time it is opened the consolidated smell would leak out and yeah… that is not a pleasant smell so while the idea sounds cool I think people should just stick with the regular book smells. Or maybe pleasant smells like very light perfumes or smell of rain or fresh cut grass.<\/p>\n
