What is a Bibliophile?

 The genus bibliophile is hard to define.  He is a book lover, a collector and omnivorous reader of books and bookseller's catalogs; he may also be a book scout, or a scholar or a librarian.  He may be mad about typography and fine paper.  He/she may not know the properties of a hypotenuse or the nature of a silicon chip, but in the end, his/her tombstone will read, simply, BIBLIOPHILE.  A lovely word.
