This pamphlet by Thomas Dibdin (1776–1847) is a response to the author's own Bibliomania (1809), which focused on obsessive book collecting. But now the narrator finds out that 'bibliomania is no more', and conducts an entertaining yet melancholic investigation on print culture all the way to the Bodleian Library.
