Bibliopole ... Tomes

Today’s word is “bibliopole” ... bookseller, especially dealer in rare or used books. (Dictionary.com)

Tomes
Where are all the beautiful words,
Bound in elegant leather,
Ancient secrets, stories and rhymes,
Collections saved all together?

A bibliopole’s work is never quite done
There are always more volumes to find,
People are hungry for unusual pages,
To satisfy egos and minds.

Somewhere in a safe is the item they seek,
Or maybe a box faraway,
The rarest of rare books; a treasure,
For which they search night and day.
