What is the deference between tundoku and bibliomania?

 Tsundoku and bibliomania are both terms used to describe a

love of books, but they have different meanings. Tsundoku is the Japanese word for the act of buying books but not reading them, while bibliomania is a more obsessive form of book collecting.

Tsundoku is often seen as a harmless habit, but it can become a problem if it leads to financial hardship or prevents people from reading the books they have bought. Bibliomania, on the other hand, is a more serious condition that can lead to bankruptcy, social isolation, and even mental illness.

Here is a table that summarizes the key differences between tsundoku and bibliomania:
