On Books...is a clear statement on our potential discussions about books.
...and Biblios (BIB-lee-ohs) refers to anyone or thing that has an association with "books" or "the book." Biblios include "bibliophiles," "bibliodouls," "bibliographers," "biblioclasts," and "bibliophagists," though this last group would likely only consider those who partake in the annual "edible book" festivals (e.g. http://www.library.uiuc.edu/ediblebooks/), which occur throughout the country. But we will speak about this more later.
So welcome again. And look for our forthcoming posts:
