I think that's a slightly different phenomenon.

Tsundoku is mostly about buying books with the intention to read them, but then not getting around to it.

But to many book collectors, the books are mainly or purely collection items, to be found, owned, sorted and looked at, but without any intention of ever reading most of them.
