Lawnmower cutting grass

The smell of cut-grass

Scented printing can really add a extra sensory layer to any printed book. For example a childrens book on lawn tennis might have a cut-grass scent applied. This can appeal to children in a significant way so it is more than just a gimmick. The scent of the book can draw in reluctant readers.

Scented printing can significantly differentiate a book from other books in the genre or category.
