A response to a smell, playing on the idea of the sense of the unknown and the idea of wanting to discover identity and stories behind things. The Story Exchange re-creates how people experience buying and also handing over second-hand books by giving it a new dimension. The buyer of the second hand book will be presented with a censored book that is covered by a dust jacket. The only information given is the genre of the book, as well as this on the back they will be able to read the story that the previous owner has written about their experience with the book. People who come to the store who come to hand over their old books will be asked to write a short story to accompany their book. The will also be given the opportunity to screen print over the original book cover to conceal its identity.
