Description

With over 7 million Instagram posts tagged #booknerd, and millions more tagged with the likes of #bookworm and #bibliophile, its clear: Book nerds rule! And what better gift than this joyous celebration of their singular passion.

Its sweet, its affectionate, its understanding and clever, filled with bright, playful, intricately detailed illustrations and wonderful mottoes, definitions, jokes, and more, all of it the work of book obsessive Holly Maguire. Following in the vein of Crazy Cat Lady, Crazy Plant Lady, and the just published Dog Mom with over 91,000 copies in print in their first year Book Nerdcelebrates the 360 love that separates a book nerd from the average person who likes to read, even the average book lover. A book nerd is someone special. She or he! belongs to more than one library and has a minimum of five books on their nightside table. She confidently uses words like bibliotaph (a person who hides or hoards books), tsundonku (a Japanese word for the phenomenon of buying lots of books but never getting around to reading them), and librocubicularist (a person who reads in bed). Shes never once thought the movie was better. And her favorite T-shirt says what else Too many books, too little time.
