1. a person who hates, fears, or distrusts books. | | Quotes | "But they are slow to make. The printing press can produce many copies of the same book, you see. With this, anyone who wanted a book could simply go in a shop and buy it as other things are bought." I frowned, not convinced at all that this was a good thing. The king laughed. "So Kate, my bibliophobe, what would you rather be doing than reading?"
