Seal bag shut with a clothes pin. Leave for a few days. This will take the odor away. It works for smoke smells, "old book" smell, etc. I have done this several time before and it always works.

Pick a couple that complement each other, open them up exposing their scent, place in your book and you'll soon have a delightful read.

Mildew has a very distinct smell, and Old Book isn't it. It would also mean that every single library in the world has a mildew problem. It likely has to do with paper, binding glue, and possibly interaction with human skin oils. To make sure I was being accurate, I just picked up my 1955 original of The Age of Reform ( http://tinyurl.com/dhmj6n ). No mildew! I don’t think it’s from dampness or mildew.

I read somewhere about it being related to mold? Or maybe the book had to be wet sometime first? Can't remember. Thoughts?
