Movie: The Booksellers (2019)
Film Synopsis:
What once seemed like an esoteric world now seems essential to our culture: a community of rare book dealers and collectors who, in their love of the delicacy and tactility of books, helps keep the printed word alive. D.W. Youngs elegant and entertaining documentary, executive produced by Parker Posey, is a lively tour of New York books, past and present, from the Park Avenue Armorys annual Antiquarian Book Fair, where original editions can fetch hundreds of thousands of dollars; to the strand and argosy bookstore, still standing against all odds; to the packed apartments of collectors and buyers. The film features a litany of special guests, including Fran Lebowitz, Susan Orlean, Gay Talese, and a dedicated community of book dealers who believe passionately in the magic of objects and the eternal importance of what lies within them.
