You might try placing the book in a plastic bag or paper bag with 1 cup of ARM & HAMMER Baking Soda. Shake it well and allow to sit 24 hours. Remove the book and use a dry cloth to dust away any left over baking soda.
Baking Soda can be sprinkled on furniture and allowed to settle over night then vacuumed the next day to help reduce cigarette smoke odor. Also works well on carpet. A box can be placed in an auto to help cut cigarette smoke odors also.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
