- 1879 January 11, “Bibliomania in 1878”, in The Saturday Review of Politics, Literature, Science, and Art, volume XLVII, London: […], page 46, column 1:
- A very significant fact is that the Greek and Latin classics in the choicest editions, unless indeed they have the good luck to be in Derome or Trautz-Bauzonnet bindings, are not looked at by the bibliomanes of the period.
- 1966, Bibliotheca Medica: Physician for Tomorrow, the Harvard Medical School, page 78:
- To the bibliomanes of my generation, it comes as a shock to learn how much of a book can be punched onto a tape and clicked off by a computer.
