The Booksellers | Official Trailer

Antiquarian booksellers are part scholar, part detective and part businessperson, and their personalities and knowledge are as broad as the material they handle. They also play an underappreciated yet essential role in preserving history. THE BOOKSELLERS takes viewers inside their small but fascinating world, populated by an assortment of obsessives, intellects, eccentrics and dreamers.

It has been an honor all my life, (I am 84), to have met, over 45 years ago, an extraordinary human being: Mr. Louis Cohen, founder of Argosy Book Store, and Swann Galleries. I will be in debt with Lou, forever: His teachings on old and rare books, manuscripts, maps, etc., were invaluable for my purchasing and enjoyment of my very own bibliophilia, bibliomania, bibliolatry, and, lastly, bibliopathy...!!! Also I had the honor of meeting Mrs. Cohen and their 3 daughters; 4 wonderful, delightful and hard working ladies, who followed the steps of their husband and father. I live in Mexico City and hope to be able to buy a copy of the film as soon as is available.

I saw this fil yesterday and it was brilliant. I just lived it. I wanted to go and visit every single book store on it. Please keep loving books people the world would be a much sadder place without them.

Books.. Stories sitting on shelfs waiting for us to read them, imagine vividly the characters get angry, smile or cry, touch and smell that musty powdery smell that comes with the turning of every page.. Uhh I love them 😍

[isoletecalheiros]

This is so interesting... I hope I'll be able to watch it soon. Meanwhile- DON'T FORGET TO READ and help the young ones create that habit. Our efforts will prove much rewarding.

Notice something? Look closely. Not one downturned thumb.

We need books. Read.

This is amazing! The second shot is the bookstore(alley) a couple blocks from my apartment. I love that place!

[zackhample]

Aww yeah! Argosy Book Store FTW! Can't wait to see this film.

[PLOttawa]

This is just the documentary we need right now! Thank you. Will see.

Just watched this on Netflix. One of the best documentaries I've seen all year (says the book hoarder😂). Books aren't going anywhere. IMO they were the first step toward the information age and what will be the historic upload of consciousness. Thoughts and ideas of millions once placed into books are now being added into an infinite virtual library. I will keep my "artifacts" and also continue to buy. There is nothing like holding a physical book, an experience much like a record album 😉💯👍🏾

"Amish Love: Wow, that's quite a picture!" Can't wait to see this.

Watching this I remembered going into the B&N bookstore in New Haven, CT….. during a Yale Graduation visit. Amazing!

[ivanabratos]

As a bookworm and former book hoarder, I drooled over every scene. As I got into minimalism, I stopped buying new books unless I gave away the old ones, and forbade all of my friends to give me any. Definitely a treat of a film-like watching a baking show when on a strict diet, minus the suffering.

"They were very irritated if you wanted to buy a book. They were there so they could read all day"
Hahaha, that is basically the premise of Black Books.

[debvalle]

Just watched this yesterday. Wonderful! So perfectly New York and so timely. Hopeful in many ways, too!

[AmbientWalking]

Omg! I literally cannot wait to see this!

[markstocker]

We have TWO independent college bookstores left in NJ! Anyone want to interview us???

[anamatute]

I love it! Very significant for booklovers

[Lyons_T-BAG]

Okay.. I need to watch this. It looks and sounds amazing.

What I don’t get is why Helene Hanff was buying books from London if all these stores existed? I’m glad that she did, it made for a wonderful book. I used to go into these stores with my mother, she bought and retired on her first editions. At auction she would always be outbid by Carter Burden.
