Documentary
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 the viewers inside their small but fascinating world, populated by an assortment of obsessives, intellects, eccentrics and dreamers.
