Показать описание
Bouquiniste [BOO-kee-NEEst]
(n.)
- One who sells used books.
French (vendeur de livres anciens) from “bouquin” (old book) from obsolete Dutch “boeckin” (little book) diminutive of Dutch “boek” (book) + “-iste / -ist” (one who does or makes)
Used in a sentence:
“People may assume that a bouquiniste lives a dull, lonely life, but they’d be wrong; for we are surrounded by ambrosial vellichor and an illimitable supply of friends, lovers, and adventures to last us until the end of our days!”
