Hello, I am working on a digital collection of bookplates from the Seattle Art Museum libraries, and was wondering if anyone can help me on a question of Latin translation.

The bookplate of J. Davis Barnett bears the saying of Homo unicus libris. I believe this is a play on the phrase homo unius libri, perhaps meaning man of unique books, or man of only books, or maybe he just erred. If anyone has any advice, I would be grateful to hear it. 

Thank you,

Joel Irving
