My other Sundances were never like this. My office with a wall of books plus three other full bookshelves has a very slight smell- and that is with at least 50 books about 100 years old and several pushing 150-175. It is quite a bit less however than that one book. It may have never been opened before by the previous owner as far as I know. I may try spreading out the pages outside and see if that helps. Thanks so much.

At least I know I'm not crazy now......Comes with the ownership of the later Sundance books, has to be the environ-mental-ly conscious ink used as my first new copy was the Min Belt III and that didn't stink.
It's a real mission to read most of the R.G.S. Story, even after 20 years(vol-1 now has no smell after 35yrs), and my Gilpin Era and C.C. Rail Road have aired out too.
Frequent opening of the pages seems to be the cure, so just stick with it, maybe read it outside.
