Bibliopolistic

/ˌbɪbli.oʊ.poʊˈlɪ.stɪk/ adjective

Definition

Relating to or characteristic of the buying and selling of books as a trade or business.

Etymology

From bibliopolist + -ic (adjective suffix). This word allows the describing of things in the book-selling world without using the noun form.

Kelly Says

The bibliopolistic market has always had a quirky tension: books are meant to be read and shared, yet the rarest ones become hoarded investments that few people ever actually see.
