No, I specifically mean having a lot of books and boasting about it, treating having a lot of books as a stand-in for your personality, or believing that simply owning a lot of books makes one know things.

I grew up in a family where there were a lot of books on the shelves, though we couldn't always afford new ones.
I've never forgotten the privilege of that, nor of the position I'm in now, where I am sometimes sent books free of charge.
