Bibliogony (noun)
bib-lee-o-gon-ee
the art of producing and publishing books.
As we learned from the Word of the Day bibliophile, biblio- comes from Ancient Greek biblíon, “papyrus roll.” The form -gony, meaning “origination, production,” comes from Ancient Greek gónos, “seed, generation,” which appears in several words related to reproduction. Bibliogony was first recorded in English circa 1840.
