Bibliopole

Bibliopole is a noun that refers to one who buys or sells books. The Greek word biblion (BIB lee on) means ‘book,’ and it shows up as a prefix in such English words as ‘bibliophile’ and ‘bibliography.’ With our word of the day, it is combined with the Greek word ‘polein,’ (POE leen) which means ‘to sell.’ Here’s an example of bibliopole in use: There may not be as many bookstores as there used to be, but believe me, there are plenty of bibliopoles. As long as people are reading books, somebody will be there to sell them.
