Bibliolatry
Bibliolatry pronounced \bib-lee-OL-uh-tree\ Extreme devotion to or concern with books. Excessive adherence to a literal interpretation of the Bible.
‘A bibliophile is a lover of books; a bibliomane, a wildly enthusiastic collector. An abandoned fanatic, once he succumbs to bibliolatry, graduates into a bibliomaniac. While a bibliomaniac's spouse might easily become a bibliophobe, his arch nemesis would be a biblioclast: a destroyer of books.’
Bill Strubbe, A Bibliophile in Britain
