The Booksellers

Our culture now has a lot of people in it: rare book dealers and collectors who love the feel and look of books.

Young's elegant and entertaining documentary, which Parker Posey helped make, is a tour of New York's book world, both old and new. It includes the Park Avenue Armory's annual Antiquarian Book Fair, where original editions can sell for hundreds of thousands of dollars; the Strand and Argosy book stores, which have stayed open against the odds; and the beautiful, crowded apartments of collectors and buyers.
