Dr Jo Burzynska has her nose in a book, literally. 

The wine writer, sound artist and multisensory researcher is turning her attention to the smell of books.

She's sniffing out stories, from the scent of Shakespeare, to recreations of book smells in an age of digital reading.

Dr Burzynska is appearing at WORD festival next month.
