Watch: The Booksellers 2019 123movies, Full Movie Online – THE BOOKSELLERS is a lively, behind-the-scenes look at the New York rare book world and the fascinating people who inhabit it. Executive produced by Parker Posey and featuring interviews with some of the most important dealers in the business, as well as prominent collectors, auctioneers, and writers, THE BOOKSELLERS is both a loving celebration of book culture and a serious exploration of the future of the book..
Plot: What once seemed like an esoteric world now seems essential to our culture: the community of rare book dealers and collectors who, in their love of the delicacy and tactility of books, are helping to keep the printed word alive. D.W. Young’s elegant and entertaining documentary, executive produced by Parker Posey, is 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 can fetch hundreds of thousands of dollars; to the Strand and Argosy book stores, still standing against all odds; to the beautifully crammed apartments of collectors and buyers. The film features a litany of special guests, including Fran Lebowitz, Susan Orlean, Gay Talese, and a community of dedicated book dealers who strongly believe in the wonder of the object and the everlasting importance of what’s inside.

Believe it or not – there are books outside of NYC
This is a truly fascinating study of rate book dealers …. who reside and have their businesses in the NYC area only. Believe it or not – there are incredibly fascinating book collector and sellers outside of NYC who would have added a lot more color and life to this documentary.Off hand, Mad Dog and The Pilgrim in Sweet Water, Wyoming – population around 30 or so. There are more animals than people, but certainly not more than there are books. Their story in how the owners wound up there from Denver is a documentary on it’s own. The people who go to this destination bookstore that also provides fresh eggs, would put a lot of other bookstores to shame.
So, to the documentary makers – her’s your second doc!! You can thank me later.
what’s happening to the bookstores?
Parker posey, from so many fun things, introduces this documentary on books and booksellers. Even the buildings where the bookseller’s show take place have their own really interesting history. Commentary from fran lebowitz and gay talese. Great discussion of then and now…. in the old days, you went on the hunt for whatever or who ever you were collecting. Now, with ebay and the internet, there are twenty copies available, somewhere. The long hunt is just about extinct. If it’s out there, it’s available for a price. The inter webs have killed off most of the bookstores, and there are only a few left in new york city. People who collect something specific, and really like the hunt… will probably love this. The others, probably not so much. Interesting spotlight on the actual alice, of the famed alice in wonderland. It ends with a discussion of time spent reading and appreciating older, rare books. Good stuff. Directed by dw young, who seems to specialize in short films and documentaries.
