Faruk Yaman is a Turkish book collector whose Istanbul home overflows with 70,000 books he has collected since childhood! He shares his collection only with researchers, historians, and academics, and is quoted as saying "I own what is possibly the largest private library in Turkiye."
He originally inherited 10,000 books from his father then added to it throughout the years. He also has a separate room of books only on the history of the city of Kayseri, some which are not found in institutional libraries. (courtesy Anadolu Agency ).
