This may seem like a weird request, but I haven't been able to come up with anything on my own.

My character owns and operates a used bookstore. Though it has a section for dime-a-dozen modern beach-reads (in order to pay the rent), his focus and passion is on scholarly stuff and genuine rare and antiquarian treasures. I can picture it perfectly in my head -- the shelves, the nooks and crannies, the smell of old books, even the bookstore cat. Everything but the sign over the door.

It will be providing some minor plot elements and rp -- catering to various pcs, providing employment to one or two, etc. So before it comes up in play and I'm left stalled there in the middle of a post ... what should I call it? Any suggestions from the creative RPG-D posse?

Hmm...the only serious names that come to mind at the moment are biblio words, Conspectus, and Magnum Opus.

Here are some biblio words from my book o' obscure words.

-Biblioklept (book thief...maybe not such a great store name)
-Bibliolater (worshipper of books)
-Bibliology (book lore)
-Bibliomania (desire to collect books)
-Bibliomancy (book diviner)
-Bibliophagy (devouring of books...sounds painful)
-Bibliopole (bookseller, esp. rare)

Eh...it's something to work with, at least.

Silly titles: Nose-In-A, Spine Tickler, Witticaster's.

*is out of ideas*

Yes, I was going to sugggest "The Bibliophile," which goes along Bibliomania. :)

Latin. I hadn't thought of Latin. Biblio, lectio (reading), scientia (knowledge), verba (word) ...

Runs off to think a lot. Thanks, folks!

Ex Libris - as in, ex libris scientia (From books, kowledge).

"Ex Libris." I like it. Even fits the X-Men them.

Thanks!

You're welcome! :D
