I feel like 'bookish' and 'book-lover' are related, but slightly different.

[(Anonymous)]

And 'bookish' has maybe changed a little over time. Bookish in older novels just sort of gives me the implication of studiousness. But it seems like there's a whiff of know-it-all superiority to it now.

Are you sure it's not just you? I've never encountered this supposed change in connotation.

Nayrt, but I've heard it in that connotation as well. But only recently.

What whiff?

[(Anonymous)]

Bestowed on it by those people who think anyone who reads a lot and/or loves books is some kind of anti-democratic snob, more like.

ayrt

No, it tends to come from certain people who self-describe as bookish. Not all of them, but enough. If you haven't run into any, I understand why you wouldn't think the word had those connotations. If asked, when I was younger, I might have thought bookish was pretty accurate for me. But now, I would probably say that I like books or I love to read.
