The option that can be used as a one-word substitute for the phrase "a person who loves and collects books" is bibliophile.

  • Booker is a person who hires performance companies.
  • Bookworm is a person who loves reading books.
  • Biographer is a person who writes about another's life.

Bibliophile comes from the Greek words "biblion" (book) and "philein" (to love). It means "lover of books." A bibliophile is someone who loves books and has a deep knowledge of them. They may collect books, read them voraciously, or simply enjoy being surrounded by books.
