  Bibliophilia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bibliophilia is the love of books; a bibliophile is a lover of books.
Bibliophilia is not to be confused with bibliomania, an obsessive-compulsive disorder involving the collecting of books to the point where social relations or health are damaged.
Most bibliomaniacs, then, are compulsive hoarders, identifiable by the fact that the number of unread books in their possession is continually increasing relative to the total number of books they possess and read.

In the country of Bibliophilia, only three goods are produced: books, paper, and printing presses.
Of the 1 million reams of paper, 800,000 were sold to people who took them home and scribbed on them, while the remaining 200,000 were used as the pages in the 2 million books.
Of the 2 million books, 1.5 million were sold to people who took them home and read them, 300,000 were bought by the government of Bibliophilia and put into libraries, and the other 200,000 were put by the book publishers that produced them in warehouses.

With this, his scintillating new work of fiction, he again proves that he is “one of the finest young writers in America” (Houston Chronicle).

Bibliophilia : a novella and stories / Michael Griffith.
Myrtle is the possessor of a graduate degree, an immovable iron helmet of hair, an air that brooks no nonsense.
And having no spectacles means—obviously—that she couldn't very well fling them off, shake loose her glowing hair, and, an insta-vixen, jump some lucky jasper's bones in the bookmobile.

 Ferris - "Bibliographic Romance: Bibliophilia and the Book Object" - Romantic Libraries - Praxis Series - ...
This is not to say Dibdin is immune to such questions but to suggest that his bibliophilia opens onto identifications that bypass or cut across some dominant strains of social and national identity being erected in post-revolutionary Europe.
The example of Dibdin points to the way in which the figure of the bookman worked to unsettle, as much as to maintain, lines of division organizing the intellectual and cultural field in the period.
But it does so by making central the very symbol of those forms, and hence prompts a certain re-thinking of the ways in which we have typically understood the making of intellectual culture in the period.

 Sound Space: Science Fiction Audio Reviews
Necrotic Bibliophilia highlights 15 of the nearly three dozen tunes in the band's blistering biographical repertoire.
Opening with the bone-crushing "Frank Belknap Long," an uncompromising track that venerates not only the novelist's poetry and short stories, but also his friendship with H.P. Lovecraft, the recording blends earsplitting guitar, bass and drums with surprisingly learned lyrics.
The deafening sound of Necrotic Bibliophilia may chiefly appeal to a youthful, head-banging crowd, but the ideas articulated within the compositions are definitely of interest to a more mature, mainstream SF audience, too.

 POETRY AND PROSE FROM IN POSSE REVIEW
The aesthetics of book design are real and, one way or another, definable.
The other delights of bibliophilia are ideational [if you will permit me to use a foolish word] : they are strictly confined to, and limited by, the aesthetics of the thought, and the artistry of the thought, contained within the book's words.
To a bibliophiliac who is solely devoted to the ideational aspects of a book, the physical characteristics don't matter- they are as necessary, and disposable, as a cardboard milk carton.
