Help with really smelly book?

Does anybody know how to get odors out of books? I received one that smells like it was dropped in perfume, then dunked in another perfume and then wrapped in a dryer sheet. I can't even have it in the house. I know there has got to be something that can be done to at least diminish the odor a bit.

I have put a book like that in a plastic bag with baking soda and left it for a while and it helped.

Apparently this is also yet another use for used tumble dryer sheets - if you use such things. Put a couple of sheets into a plastic bag with the book, close up and leave for a while. The tumble dryer sheets are supposed to absorb unpleasant smells.
