The Booksellers
What formerly appeared to be an esoteric world has become an integral part of our culture: the community of rare book dealers and collectors who, by their appreciation for the delicacy and tactility of books, are assisting in the preservation of the printed word. D.W. Young's elegant and entertaining documentary, executive produced by Parker Posey, takes viewers on a lively tour of New York's book world, past and present, from the Park Avenue Armory's annual Antiquarian Book Fair, where original editions fetch hundreds of thousands of dollars; to the Strand and Argosy book stores, which have survived despite all odds; and to the beautifully crammed apartments of collectors and buyers. The film features a slew of special guests, including Fran Lebowitz, Susan Orlean, and Gay Talese, as well as a community of devoted book sellers who are firm believers in the wonder of the object and the enduring significance of what's inside.
