It is excessively geeky of me that I love knowing what typeset a book is published in? I check every single time. There are loads I have never heard of before.
Do e-books tell you the font that's been used?
Also, of course, I love the smell of books, especially new books. And the feel of the pages. Nice.
What little things about books (physical or otherwise) do you most enjoy?

There is nothing special (to me) about a book. I prefer hard cover sized print rather than the small paperback print for obvious reasons but otherwise I could care less. I want to read the story and be entertained by it or learn from the information in it.
But wine was the great assassin of both tradition and propriety...

I could care less about the smell, feel, or look of a book.

You mean you couldn't care less?

Oddly enough I was just thinking about the font issue.

I have never noticed anything about font in any book. Now I will have to look. *NM*

I tend to prefer narrower and taller typefaces. They're more elegant and much easier on the eyes.

I loved the smell of old books. Provided they aren't moldy, anyway. *NM*
