The first paragraph of the article has tons of bolded text. Normally this doesn't bother me, but every single sentence in the paragraph has at least one word bolded, which gets to be a distraction. Anyone mind if I remove some of the bolding? -- Dr. WTF 02:11, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
This is semi-redundant with book collecting; not sure if separate articles have any particular value or not. Stan 15:12, 17 Nov 2003 (UTC)
erm no, this is describing a word that means as such. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:641:C080:520:7C25:26C4:108B:AC7 ( talk) 01:26, 8 February 2023 (UTC)
I have added the disputed tag regarding the discussion on people abandoning books when some IBM screen arrives on the market. This is surely nonsense. rem120
Well I reading love books, but can't stand the feel of the paper... and the annoyance of trying to hold down a page/reading text next to the spine. If it wasn't for the glare I'd happily read books on the net all the time instead. Haha, I'm such a freak. ~ Francesca
You're a freak? I have gigabytes of books in many different formats for the PC. (as well as many real books.) Adjust your brightness and contrast levels correctly and you'll have no trouble reading from a CRT. I see nothing freakish about it, computers manipulate media quite readily, text is no exception!

But is it a lifestile? see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_lifestyles
I believe it is most defenitely a lifestlye. Book collecting is an addiction and literally takes over a life. -- Da Kidd 14:17, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
People of think that the latter is correct - and therefore, perhaps it is.
The Read or Die and Private Sheska links seem out of place. Maybe they should be removed?
I agree with Stan's "Redundant article?" comment above, and recommend this article be merged into Book collecting. I plan to edit that article, and will probably begin to edit and move some of this page over. -- Mukrkrgsj 02:22, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

I'm rather surprised that no one bothered to included it or define it in the opening paragraph. Will someone please come to the plate? -- Ludvikus 02:15, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
I was wondering if maybe we should include a section on people who suffered from Bibliophly. ( Sontag12 ( talk) 22:04, 1 April 2008 (UTC))
The first of these is currently under consideration for deletion. Can one and all please drop by a put his, her, or their two cents in before the standard works are wiped out? Now do I have your attention? -- Ludvikus ( talk) 00:54, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
