The E-Sylum: Volume 4, Number 36, September 3, 2001, Article 12 NEW WORD: BIBLIOHOLISM. Dick Johnson writes: "I had to learn a new word this week: Biblioholism. For my birthday my daughter gave me a sweater with it blazoned in white letters on a blue background. Lucky for me it also gives the derivation and definition (right on the sweater): bib' li•o•hol' ism (bibl' le e hol' iz' em) [<Gr Biblion] n. [BIBLIO + HOLISM] books, of books: the habitual longing to purchase, read, store, admire, and consume books in excess. Libraries here in Connecticut all have book sales this Labor Day weekend. I can't wait to wear it. Then everyone will know I have this strange malaise. The only apparent cure, I guess .... is to buy more BOOKS. The sweater came from Wireless at giftcatalog.com. They also offer, surprise!, a book of the same name by Tom Raabe." Wayne Homren, Editor The Numismatic Bibliomania Society is a non-profit organization promoting numismatic literature.
