I and my XYL are very allergic to same. Does anyone have any suggestions about how to deal with this situation? Having manuals you can't bear to use are, well, useless.

Well Bob, I don't know if this will work for Smoke Odours…but I know it works for MOULD Smells on Paper Manuals and Books. 

Take the Manuals and seal them in a Plastic Zip Lock Baggie. Then put them in the Freezer for a day. This works well for killing mould and getting rid of that kind of stink!! Maybe it will work for the smoke smell too????
