This is really cool. When I had an operation to correct my lazy eye, my eyes were crying blood. My sister was so stressed but wanted me to stay calm so she asked me if I wanted her to read a book. She took out the gruffalo and started reading whist I sat there with my eyes closed, every now and again opening them to look at the pictures. Occasionally she'd get a part wrong and I would correct her! I loved the book as a kid.
Sorry I know that story wasn't really related, thanks for letting me reminisce!

I had always wondered if there was a market for this, as I have wanted to prepare scent kits for books for ages. I taught a special topics course in literary studies on scent and fragrance in literature, and I think a corresponding positivist approach to literal scent in literature would be amazing.
I am so happy to see that this is something people can enjoy. I hope more people begin to fill this niche with many, many books.
