Bookdom

/ˈbʊkdəm/ noun

Definition

The world or realm of books and literature; the community of readers, writers, and book-related professions.

Etymology

From book + -dom (realm or domain), similar to kingdom or Christendom. This is a playful term that treats books as their own kingdom or sphere.

Kelly Says

Bookdom has its own culture, heroes, and values—it's one of the few human domains that has remained relatively stable for 500+ years while celebrating the exact same objects.
