Yesterday’s word

The word bibligony is “the art of producing or publishing books”

First usage

Our word came into English in the mid-1800s

Background / Comments

An alternative word to our word is “bibliogenesis” (of which I would have been able to guess the meaning). Our word came from the Greek words biblio- (book) and -gony (origin).
