bibliosmia

The smell and aroma of a good book.

Sometimes the best thing about a book is that wonderful sensation of bibliosmia: the effect the book has on the nostrils as you breathe in the scent of the pages. Some people are a junkie for that.

A person who is obsessive over books. Unlike a bibliophile, and bibliomaniac does not have a defined and concise collection, but rather obsesses over having every single book possible, and gives preference to signed books or other books of value; ie.
