Getting smells out

Or put it outside in the sun as opened up as best you can.

If the bookshelf smells that musty, where it is stinking up the corner, there probably isn't a way to save it. Likely being in a basement means that it has all kinds of mold and such growing in that wood, that would be the musky smell.

Ewww....

A shame since it's actually my moms old bookshelf...I suppose I can tell her it still smells after cleaning it and see what she has to say...

In the sun?

It's been sitting in the dark. A few days airing out warmed in the sun should help a little at least.

Just FYI I was reading this thread for the heck of it and threw a dryer sheet into the case of a copy of Desert Strike for genesis that smelled like an old person died inside it. Smell gone

Funny enough my mom said the same thing...welp on the porch it goes! Hope the ants don't eat it >.<
