What does the word ‘Bibliosmia’ mean?

I almost said the enjoyment of the smell of books but I said book addiction and well I guess I was wrong but then again, I never heard of the word bibliosmia!

Bibli means books Osmi means smell Thanks to sister Michael Ilene...saint rose of lima, Good Catholic up bringing means strong back ground in Latin, lol

I noticed not a lot of people said... "I got it right" well, I did

And nonookosmia is the enjoyment of the lack of smell coming from an electronic reader. ;)

I wounder if walking into a book store is like the smell cupcakes

I got it right, really had 2 look at, statements

Ahhhhh...there's nothing like the wonderful scent of an interesting book! I got it right to!

Amasing smell the book!

look for definition.

Well, I got it right.

My first guess was just that: the enjoyment of the smell of books. Just reinforces my own mantra: don't second-guess yourself.

I got it right.

This is another incorrect definition! Clearly it means exactly what it sounds like it means! "An over whelming or all consuming passion and enthusiasm for collecting and possessing books." Just like any other mania. IT does not mean only "to like the smell of books". Someone should edit or monitor these entries. LOOK IT UP!

Easy, no brainer if you think about it:) Bibli=book & Osmi=smell I am one of those people who are addicted to reading as well as the smell of a new book or just my plain old favorites, hehe. A different question and I'd probably be sunk:(

That would be me!! I love the smell of libraries. I love used book stores. I like to hold brand new hard cover books. I prefer a hard back book over a soft one. I tell you I got it bad. I didn't know there was a name for it.

So happy I got the answer. Right. Whoohooooo

I got this one right :)

Who the hell sniffs books?

I like the aroma of new books, but as it is gets considerably older it loses it's smell.I did answer correctly.
