books whatever big or small numbers they have or can their hands on.

A person who collects and is obsessive over books. The most common symptom of a
person being a Bibliomaniac is the greed of habit of collecting each and every
version of same book. These people not necessary read, they might just be
collecting the books!!
This popular quote sum’s up the difference between the two.
"The bibliophile is the master of his books, the
bibliomaniac their slave."
~Henry Ward Beecher
