Smoke damaged books

We have received a number of books from a donor who must have been a
very heavy smoker because the books have a very strong smoke odor.
Can anyone recommend a method for removing the smoke?  One
conservator suggested quick freezing them.  We do not currently have
facilities for this, but we tested a duplicate paperback in our
regular freezer, but it didn't seem to make much difference.  Thanks
for anything you can suggest.
