A person who practices bibliolatry; someone who worships or excessively reveres books and their contents.
From bibliolatry + -ist (Greek -istes, one who practices). A learned variant alongside bibliolater, emphasizing the practice or belief system rather than the person alone.
The Enlightenment scholar who wouldn't let anyone touch his first editions, or the collector who built a climate-controlled vault for books—these are bibliolatrists treating objects as if they were religious relics.
