Biblio: noun, book
Phobia: suffix, fear
A: prefix, not
Abibliophobia: compound noun, fear of running out of books to read.
I fully understand that fear. With no kindle in tow, I’ll read the ingredients on a ketchup bottle.
Interestingly – because abibliophobes are renowned for gathering interesting snippets – in Steven Mithen’s The Language Puzzle he tells us that the smaller the language community, the longer their words.
Judging by that little snip, the abibliophobia community is quite small. Though not as small as the column-writers employed in 1931 by Daily Orange who gave us supercalifragilisticexpialidocious

Your title had me singing along – even though the sound of it was something quite atrocious! A nice take on a tricky word.
