Subject: A.Word.A.Day--biblioklept
biblioklept (BIB-lee-uh-klept) noun
A person who steals books.
[Biblio- book + Greek klept thief.]
I remember a Robert Louis Stevenson quote, that none of his
friends were mathematicians, but many were good book-keepers.

Dear belMarduk: He didn't mean they had stolen them. But he was clearly annoyed with them.
