Im very much here for this! “A behind-the-scenes look at the New York rare book world. ” Includes interviews with Fran Lebowitz, Susan Orlean, Kevin Young and Gay Talese. 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.

The booksellers documentary where to watch. The booksellers tale.

The booksellers diary. The booksellers streaming. Looks like an Episode of Peter Capaldi's Doctor who ?. October 8, 2019 9:50PM PT New York's rare book dealers discuss what they did for love in a wistful doc made for those who can still look at a book and see a magical object. Its never a surprise to learn that the Internet has upended a business, or an entire industry. But in the lovely and wistful documentary “ The Booksellers, ” we hear one telling illustration of how the online universe has revolutionized the world of vintage books, and its an object lesson so fraught with irony that its a little head-spinning. Imagine that it was, say, the early 90s, and you were a rare-book maven with an impassioned, if not obsessive-compulsive, desire to accumulate a complete collection of the works of Edith Wharton, all in first editions. (Since Edith Wharton happens to be my favorite writer, this example nabbed my attention. How would you do it? Youd go to vintage bookstores, attend auctions, work with a dealer. Youd gather your first editions one by one, over time, and the slow and steady hunt would be part of the pleasure. But in the world of online book selling, where everything is catalogued and digitized, its all potentially a lot simpler. You can still play treasure hunt if youd like, but all you really have to do is say, “Id like to own a first-edition copy of every book Edith Wharton ever wrote, ” and the computer does the searching for you, all at once. To gather this collection, all youd have to be ready to do is to put the total sum on your credit card. In a sense, thats exhilarating. In rare books, as in so many other things, the Internet can reduce the search for the Holy Grail to an instant click-and-score. But with the hunt made borderline irrelevant, youre no longer quite collecting; youre just buying. The thrill may not be gone, but its reduced. And for the vintage book-store owner ? the professional bibliophile, the man or woman who knows theyre buying and selling not just old books but sacred artifacts ? the impact of Internet commerce has been a slow-motion debacle. The web turns them, more and more, into not-so-necessary middlemen. Of course, what the Internet is also doing is accelerating, rather radically, the erosion of our collective passion for book culture. Its not as if its gone away! But when it comes to feeding the book business as a business, the number of people who spend time reading things between covers is in a rapid state of decline. Yet if the rare-book trade has reached a crucial moment of struggle, “The Booksellers” reveals that its hanging on in novel ways. The present-tense sheen of the 21st century has altered the meaning, and place, of books in our society in ways that can make them seem even more valuable. You might say that vintage books are now like vinyl albums ? but in this case, they always were. So for the vintage-book believer, the value of a volume has actually gone up: as totem, as symbol, as artifact of beauty. Its slow fade from the culture only enhances its magic as an object. “The Booksellers” invites us to dote on the tactile mystery of old books ? the elegance of the print, the pages that may be fragmenting, the colorful latticework bindings, the back-breaking size of certain old volumes, like the Gutenberg Bible (more or less the first book ever printed, dating back to the mid-1400s) or one giant book we see that contains intricate drawings of fish skeletons. D. W. Young, the director of “The Booksellers, ” is a veteran film editor who leads us into grand and cozy old bookstores like the mysterious museums they are. He roots the movie in New York City (with a few forays to London) since thats where the heart of American literary culture still resides, and he introduces us to a cast of characters who are captivating in their what-I-did-for-love devotion. They all have it; if they didnt, they wouldnt be in the business. Many of the stores go back to the 20s, when 4th Ave., known as book row in Manhattan, had close to 50 bookstores, most of them owned and operated, in the words of Fran Lebowitz, by “dusty Jewish men who would get irritated if you wanted to buy a book. ” That, says Lebowitz, is because theyd gone into the business mostly so they could sit around and read all day. The film takes us inside New Yorks most fabled bookshop, the Argosy Book Store, founded in 1925 by Louis Cohen and now run by his daughters, Judith, Naomi, and Adina, who are in the rare position of being able to keep the dream alive because they own the six-story building that houses the store on E. 59th St. The dance of literary aesthetics and money is addictive. In the 50s and 60s, dust jackets were considered works of art, until they fell out of favor. Now theyre back in fashion, to the point that a first edition of “The Great Gatsby” without a dust jacket is currently worth about 5, 000, whereas with a torn and tattered jacket it would fetch 15, 000, and with a jacket in vintage condition it could go for 150, 000. At the Antiquarian Book Fair held each year at the Park Avenue Armory, we see an original edition of “Don Quixote, ” which is worth 20, 000, and learn that a first edition of the original James Bond novel, “Casino Royale, ” now goes for 150, 000. The comparison to the art market is there in a primal way, even if the book prices are lower (though we do see the auction at which Bill Gates, over the phone, purchased Leonardos Codex Hammer for 28 million) with the cost of a vintage book reflecting the ever-shifting values of the culture. “The Booksellers” finds room for tidbits of history, like a thumbnail sketch of the pioneering book maven A. S. Rosenbach, as well as a portrait of the seminal dealer-collectors Leona Rostenberg and Madeleine B. Stern, who had to fight to make their mark in a demimonde of tweedy men. (For years, they were scandalously denied membership in the Grolier Club. Rostenberg and Stern became legendary, uncovering Louisa May Alcotts hidden pseudonym as an author of pulp novels, and opening the doors for the contemporary women dealers we meet, like Rebecca Romney, who became a regular on “Pawn Stars, ” spreading the gospel of rare-book love with a rare crossover charisma. She emerges as the movies cockeyed optimist of bibliophilia. Theres a happy contradiction at the heart of antiquarian book culture. The passion for books is about the love of reading ? the rhythm of it, the meditative space of it, which increasingly stands as a 19th-century counterpulse to the amped heartbeat of the 21st century. But “The Booksellers” is also about the kind of people who relish vintage books as fetish objects. Those of us who love old books know that feeling. Yet its not just about owning; that gorgeous rare volume incarnates the concrete mysticism of the reading experience. “The Booksellers” is a documentary for anyone who can still look at a book and see a dream, a magic teleportation device, an object that contains the world.
Bravo! What a wonderful video! I myself opened a used book store five years ago in a small town in Upstate New York. 5 years in business I opened when I was 26. Very fulfilling and difficult at times. I started my own youtube channel where I film my book hauls, in shop activity etc. Maybe you all would enjoy it and follow the page for support. I went to this place and found a couple of the harry potter books i needed about 6 years ago and now i need to return. People like Bablu Chakraborty are truly inspirational. Great story.

Average rating 3. 73 4, 003 ratings 621 reviews, Start your review of The Bookseller (Hugo Marston, 1) When reading and reviewing a debut novel, I do so with leniency and excitement. Leniency in reviewing, knowing the painstaking hard work and headaches that goes with the territory of breaking into the mysterious world of becoming a published author. And excitement in discovering a new author whose charters, plots, and storylines are so intriguing one can't wait for future sequels. Pryor's novel, The Bookseller, needs no leniency in reviewing, as it reads as if penned by a longstanding seasoned... I have always been attracted to any mystery that has “books” in their title, or involved a plot centered on some aspect of dealing with books. When I learned of Mark Pryors novel, THE BOOKSELLER I was extremely curious. With a former FBI profiler named Hugo Marston working as the head of security at the American embassy in Paris, Pryor has created a strong character and a wonderful story line in his first novel. From the outset, when a Parisian bookseller, named Max Koche is abducted from his... Maybe? A 3. 5 I can't decide There is a great rapport between the two sleuths and a needed lady punch as well as a not well-guessed unveiling. But there is more investigation than action and I'm a fan of action; I love that sort of depiction. But I was drawn by the aspect of this French phenomenon of the bouqiniste; I've never heard of this and now I must go to Paris on vacation just to purchase books no other reason haha Fine read. Hugo Marston is an ex FBI agent, now living in Paris as chief of security for the U. S. Embassy. Recently divorced from his second wife (his first wife was killed in a car crash) he shared a love of rare books with her and had developed a friendship with Max, owner of one of the bouquiniste, along the Seine. He returns one afternoon after having bought a couple of first editions and witnesses Max being forced, at the point of a gun, on the a boat. When interviewed by the police, some... When I read the back blurb of The Bookseller and the description of the main character, Hugo Marston, as head of security at the US embassy in Paris, I feared the book might be an espionage action book. I'm not particularly fond of that type of book. However, the additional statements about disappearing booksellers and WWII Nazi collaboration connections peaked my interest. I'm so glad that they did. This debut book by Mark Pryor is a well-honed mystery story with multiple layers of intrigue... Some things never go out of fashion. You've got martinis, little black dresses, Paris - or solidly-plotted, old school, murder mysteries set in Paris, for that matter. Author, Mark Pryor, has struck a sweet spot in the genre; achieved a black-tie comfort food, if you will, with the first Hugo Martson novel, THE BOOKSELLER. This whodunit and whydunit is staple locale mystery fare and all the expected boxes are ticked, but with one of those really smooth, gel-ink, fancypants pens. Hugo Marston is... Excellent mystery, interesting characters and setting. Looking forward to more of these. It I kept it on the to read list because I love books about books. I was kind of hoping for another Shadow of the Wind, but that is shooting far too high. This first time offering by Mark Pryor was just OK. Typos annoy me, so deduct one star for that. Also it was a bit farfetched, with two has-been Feds chasing down a drug kingpin. Tuxedos and cowboy boots? Seriously? I think I'll give the rest of the series a pass. What is this about. A thoroughly enjoyable action thriller set in Paris, involving books, Nazis and Nazi hunters. What else is this about. This is an introduction to Hugo Marston, the central character in a series by author Marky Pryor. Hes the chief of security at the US Embassy in Paris, be still my heart. Paris. Books and murder mystery ? that right there are three of my favourite things and since finding out about the Hugo Marston series and recommending The Paris Librarian, I had to find... Really more 2 1/2 stars, maybe 2. 75. I don't have strong feelings one way or the other for this book. I'm feeling very middle-of-the-road. The description of the book - a Paris locale, rare books, Nazis, a mystery - is right up my alley. However, the execution does not live up to the promise. Oh, it's not a bad book, but not one I'm gushing about either. I imagine I'll read the next in the series just to see if the main character grows on me. He kind of bothered me in this book. As a Texan, I am... I love books that won't let me put them down and The Bookseller is definitely one of these books. From the first page, main character Hugo Marston had me captivated! Great supporting characters and a smooth plot. A murder/mystery thriller, this book has it all! Lots of suspense and plot twists, it keeps you turning the pages until the end! Looking forward to the next two Hugo books and hoping for many more. Thank you, Mark Pryor, for an excellent read! This series is addictive. The Paris setting is unsentimentally handled, characters are engaging, you want more. I read this after reading The Paris Librarian which I liked a bit more. But the bouquiniste angle really pulled me into this, plus it was fun finding out about Claudia... PROTAGONIST: Hugo Marston, head of security for US Embassy SETTING: Paris SERIES: 1 of 1 RATING: 4. 25 Texan Hugo Marston is the head of security at the US Embassy in Paris. One of his passions is book collecting, and he indulges himself in buying some first editions from his friend Max, an elderly bookstall owner. Max is one of a number of booksellers who have shops along the Seine. The government controls the allocation of those shops, and they are often occupied for many years by the same... Good book. Not breathtaking in any way. I would have liked to care for the characters more. I started reading it just before I went to Paris where it takes place. The author gives you a good feeling for the City of Love (Some say the City of Light, but they haven't been there with the lovely Julie. often naming a street he's on or an area he's visiting. Best if you can read this in Paris. Maybe more of a 3. 5. It all comes together in the end as they always do, just not quite like other good mysteries I have read. There were interesting antidotes on books. As much as Hugo said he loved to read, his role in the story did not feature that. For now will not continue on with the series. A good book if you know Paris well, many famous streets mentioned in the action scenes and Hugo's walks. Very very good for book one of a series. Set in Paris, Hugo Marston is trying to find his friend, a bookseller who has gone missing. Add secrets in old books, international drug running, a tough newspaper reporter, a friend who works for the CIA and you have the makings of a good read Books, secrecy, and intrigue are good, but setting this book in Paris propels a male version of a Harlequin romance, a James Bond-ian fantasy with all the secret embellishments that we dudes harbor deep in our absurd little psyches. Exhibit 1: Skills: Hugo Marston is former FBI and now chief of U. consular security in Paris. Exhibit 2: Looks: Hes impossibly handsome, comparing favorably to Cary Grant. Exhibit 3: Sympathy/pity: a widower just shafted by his second wife, Hugo has nothing to... This is a great start to a series, set in Paris, and with a main character who is the head of security at the U. Embassy there. Good character development, and an intriguing story make me anxious to continue this series. Absolute page turner and I love Hugo! Fun history of the booksellers along the Seine in Paris. Definitely dreaming of going there now! One of the best detective novels I have come across in the past couple of years. This was engaging from the first to the last page, I will definitely be continuing on with this series! This reader is a sucker for regional mysteries and Paris being one of my favorite cities I thought I would try this series. The crime being investigated is interesting. A bookseller or bouquiniste on the banks of the Seine goes missing. Hugo Marston, head of security for the American embassy in Paris, is friends with this particular bookseller and witnesses what appears to be his abduction. Mr. Marston, a former FBI profiler, takes on his own investigation to track down his missing friend. There... as always mark pryor delivers I was a bit hesitant about this, as I have pretty much crossed anything with Nazis in it off my list, because I feel like I have been beyond saturated where that plot device is concerned. However, this had several other things that I normally enjoy so I figured I would give it a try. Unfortunately, it did not work for me and I did not finish this book. I feel I should first note that I listened to this in audiobook format, and the narrator's voice just did not fit with who my mind told me Hugo as... I first read the most recent of the Hugo Marston series, The Sorbonne Affair. I enjoyed the bits and pieces: Paris references, books and history, small villages and relationships; funeral of formerly well known actress; references to class and acquired style (Texan Marston with a daughter of a titled Frenchman; Marston as a former FBI profiler turned U. Embassy security. I kept having to remind myself that Hugo Marston and his buds are living in current times; the book often seemed more of a... This is the first in a series of Hugo Marston novels. I read 'The Bookseller' after enjoying a "prequel" written long after this book. Marston is a former FBI profiler and head of security at the American embassy in Paris. The title character is an older bookseller with an outdoor stall. He is kidnapped in front of Marston and Marston is frustrated in his search for the man by local police and jurisdictional politics. Eventually he finds cooperation as well as help from a small team of allies... If Hugo Marston is supposed to be representa

When Kitty first begins visiting her dream world, her life is almost perfect. But as she spends more time there, she realizes the challenges of this world. And then... What's going on in publishing these days? Is the same designer responsible for all these covers? If so, good job, designer. You won again. These covers always pull me in because of course they do. Why wouldn't they? None of these books have lived up to their covers, sadly. Don't get me wrong. I liked this one. It's a solid story with good writing and an interesting premise. Unfortunately, I got a little tired of it. Also, it made me feel sad but not in the way I like to feel sad. It made me feel... Cynthia Swansons THE BOOKSELLER is ostensibly a story of two realities, one in which protagonist Kitty is a 38-year-old single woman who runs a failing bookstore with her life-long best friend and lives alone with her cat, and another in which Kitty (now called Katharyn) is married with three children, living the typical 1960s suburban family life.

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers. To view it, click here. This was a read I quickly became immersed in. The gentle cadence and details of the story absorbed my attention and I couldn't put the book down this morning as my coffee grew cold. One of the aspects of the unfolding of the story was in the beginning there is a clear delineation between reality and the fantasy world that the main character dreams herself into. As the story reveals more, the lines between reality and fantasy blur, both for Kitty Miller/Katharyn Andersson and the reader... This book is beautiful! B e a u t i f u l! Absolutely heart wrenching, heartbreaking, and heartwarming! The biggest question in this book is "What if. It's bittersweet, surprising and talks about different subjects such as autism, grieve, ailment, love, friendship, books and family. It's also set in the sixties which is different and interesting. I highlighted ALL the books mentioned here! I must read them all! An interesting twist on the classic "what if" tale. One huge pet peeve: the crappy Spanish of Alma the housekeeper. Seriously, couldn't Harper get someone who actually knows Spanish to check that the author's Spanish was accurate? Btw, not only was it not accurate, it was actually ATROCIOUS. I don't know about you. but I would love to own a bookshop and have these dreams... The Bookseller was a pretty interesting book. I feel like I flew through the kindle version because it just kept reminding me of other little books. Sort of like Outlander, but not really. In this book, you will meet Katharyn and Lars.

The book is about a woman named Kitty who lives another life in her dreams where she is Katharyn. It is one of those books where one decision could have lead to a different path. Or is it? This book had many layers, and presented some twists (which were blatantly obvious. It was well written and engaging, but at the same time predictable. It was a good read though. I received an uncorrected proof copy of this novel from HarperCollins. In 1962 Denver, Kitty Miller is content with her unconventional life as an unmarried woman who runs a bookshop with her best friend, Frieda. That is until she begins to dream about an alternate path her life may have taken - one in which she goes by Katharyn and is married to the love of her life and is a stay at home mother.

Im in the mood”. And then…. ”Something wicked this way comes”. The novel is told from the prospective of Kitty, aka, Katharyn. We learn that Kitty loves to dream and her imagination is impressive. As a big dreamer myself, I understood Kittys love of her dreamland. Ive had more than a few occasions where I was abruptly woken and I think, “Wait, I want to finish my dream. ” And, Ive had the occasions where I... The Bookseller is a first-time novel for Cynthia Swanson. Katharyn/Kitty, the main character kept me engrossed in this novel from page one. In the Bookseller, Swanson takes us on a startling journey where a woman is thrust into an alternate world that might have been, if she had made different decisions. The Bookseller is a wonderful exploration of identity, love and loss. The 1960's tone is elegant, slightly mysterious, and thoroughly engrossing. The Bookseller's plot fascinated me, was well... What an interesting concept. When Kitty Miller goes to sleep she is in a different life only a few months ahead of where she is now in her life. She is married with three kids.

Bookselling is the commercial trading of books which is the retail and distribution end of the publishing process. People who engage in bookselling are called booksellers, bookwomen, or bookmen. The founding of libraries in 300 BC stimulated the energies of the Athenian booksellers. History [ edit] In Rome, toward the end of the republic, it became the fashion to have a library, and Roman booksellers carried on a flourishing trade. [1] The spread of Christianity naturally created a great demand for copies of the Gospels, other sacred books, and later on for missals and other devotional volumes for both church and private use. [2] The modern system of bookselling dates from soon after the introduction of printing. In the course of the 16th and 17th centuries the Low Countries for a time became the chief centre of the bookselling world. Modern book selling has changed dramatically with the advent of the Internet. With major websites such as Amazon, eBay, and other big book distributors offering affiliate programs, book sales have now, more than ever, been put in the hands of the small business owner. Modern era [ edit] Bookstores (called bookshops in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia and most of the Commonwealth, apart from Canada) may be either part of a chain, or local independent bookstores. Stores can range in size offering from several hundred to several hundred thousand titles. They may be brick and mortar stores or internet only stores or a combination of both. Sizes for the larger bookstores exceed half a million titles. Bookstores often sell other printed matter besides books, such as newspapers, magazines and maps; additional product lines may vary enormously, particularly among independent bookstores. Colleges and universities often have their own student bookstore on campus that focuses on providing course textbooks and scholarly books, although some on-campus bookstores are owned by large chains such as WHSmith or Waterstone's in the United Kingdom, or Barnes & Noble College Booksellers in the United States, which is a private firm controlled by the chair of Barnes & Noble. Another common type of bookstore is the used bookstore or second-hand bookshop which buys and sells used and out-of-print books in a variety of conditions. [3] 4] A range of titles are available in used bookstores, including in print and out of print books. Book collectors tend to frequent used book stores. Large online bookstores offer used books for sale, too. Individuals wishing to sell their used books using online bookstores agree to terms outlined by the bookstore(s) for example, paying the online bookstore(s) a predetermined commission once the books have sold. In Paris, the Bouquinistes are antiquarian and used booksellers who have had outdoor stalls and boxes along both sides of the Seine for hundreds of years, regulated by law since the 1850s and contributing to the scenic ambience of the city. citation needed] See also [ edit] Book store shoplifting Books and publishing in Pakistan Bookstore tourism History of the book Independent bookstore List of bookstore chains List of LGBT bookstores List of independent bookstores Quarter bin Notes and references [ edit] Further reading [ edit] Davis, Joshua Clark, Una Mulzac, Black Woman Booksellers, and Pan-Africanism" AAIHS, September 19, 2016.

MOVIES 3:00 PM PDT 10/7/2019 by Courtesy of Film A treat for anyone who appreciates the printed word. D. W. Young's documentary, executive produced by Parker Posey, delivers a behind-the-scenes look at the New York rare book world. Bibliophiles are likely to be increasingly depressed these days, thanks to the rise of ebooks and the continuing demise of bookstores. D. Young's documentary The Booksellers, receiving its world premiere at the New York Film Festival, should provide something of a balm to those beleaguered souls. Providing a behind-the-scenes look at the world of rare book dealers but also digressing into topics revolving around the printed word in general, the film will be enjoyed by anyone who's ever happily spent hours wandering through bookstores with no specific goal in mind. "The world is divided between people who collect things, and people who don't know what the hell these people are doing collecting things. observes one of the doc's subjects. Needless to say, the film very much concentrates on the former, especially those who attend the annual Antiquarian Book Fair at New York City's Park Avenue Armory, a mecca for rare book collectors. Ironically, as if to underscore the archaic products being exhibited, the armory is a virtual antique itself, dating back to the late 19th century and featuring a giant clock that no longer works. Among the dealers who exhibit there are Dave Bergman, who specializes in giant-sized books and whose apartment is packed to the gills with his inventory. "Every time I buy another book, I have to rearrange the entire place. he says sardonically. We learn that in the 1950s there were 358 bookstores in New York City and that now there are only 79 remaining (it's actually surprising there are still that many. Among the notable used and rare bookstores that have survived are The Strand, opened in 1929 and now the only one left of what used to be dozens of such establishments on 4th Avenue, once dubbed "Book Row. There's also the Argosy Book Store on E. 59th Street, established in 1925 and currently run by the three daughters of the original owner. Tellingly, both of these are family businesses, and their longevity can be ascribed to the fact that the families own the buildings in which their stores are located. The doc fascinatingly delves into the history of book collecting, spotlighting such pioneering figures as legendary British dealer A. S. Rosenbach, whose nickname was "The Napoleon of Books. and researchers Leona Rostenberg and Madeleine B. Stern, who uncovered Louisa May Alcott's pseudonym of A. M. Bernard, which the author of Little Women used when writing pulp romance fiction. Author Fran Lebowitz offers plenty of amusing commentary throughout the film. "You know what they used to call independent bookstores? Bookstores. she jokes, adding, They were all independent. Novelist Susan Orlean weighs in as well, talking about having sold her archives to Columbia University and worrying that in the age of computers, researchers will no longer have the opportunity to explore writers' creative processes. Several of the interview subjects point out that while the internet is great for collectors, who can find anything they want with just a few keystrokes, it's been terrible for booksellers. The very word "Kindle" sends shudders up booksellers' spines, although not all of them are ready to write off the printed word just yet. "I think the death of the book is highly overrated. one dealer comments. The doc includes amusing profiles of several of the more eccentric collectors, including one dealer who handles books bound in human skin and founder Jay Walker, who has a massive library in his home dedicated to the "human imagination" and inspired by M. C. Escher. The Booksellers tends to be a bit too digressive at times, lapsing into many tangents that are never uninteresting but tend to cause it to lose focus. Nonetheless, the film provides an evocative portrait of a way of life that is hopefully not completely vanishing anytime soon. Production company: Blackletter Films Director-editor: D. Young Producers: Dan Wechsler, Judith Mizrachy Executive producers: Parker Posey Director of photography: Peter Bolte Composer: David Ullmann Venue: New York Film Festival 99 minutes.
