Mightn't it also be a size-challenged booklover, someone barely visible to the naked eye?

That would make those miniature books gigantic--to the microbibliophile, that is.

Just so. And if that person, say, held delusions of wealth, power, genius, and so on, would you say he/she was a megalomaniacal micromegabibliophile?

That's a given rt, based on my experience of particularly short people.

Be careful what you admit to! C_B is always watching; before you know it she'll have you listed as a megalomaniacal micromegabibliophile.

Well, I meant the "short" part. So she'd better not call me that other thing or I'll...I'll....
I'll whine.

bilby commented on the word microbibliophile
It's not madeupical, really. I was reading an article about a company that specialises in printing miniature and novelty books. They described their key market, ie. those who collect miniature books because they are fascinated by them, as microbibliophiles. I'll cite it properly when I have it the article to hand.

Bilby, we're just playing (aren't we?)--I've actually worked with books like this, in another life as a rare book person. They're lovely little things, and some people do collect only miniature books.
