Bibliophiles unite! Step inside the leather-and-musk-scented world of New York City’s rare book world, an eclectic crew of wheelers and dealers dedicated to preserving history one musty tome at a time. Behold books bound in human flesh, accounts of polar expeditions containing tufts of real mammoth fur, manuscripts scribed by Borges, and other literary curiosities. But these stranger-than-fiction relics are more than just novel—they are links to our shared past. Executive produced by Parker Posey, The Booksellers celebrates the value of books as tangible objects at a time when their very existence is threatened.

As part of the film package, enjoy a never-before-seen bonus scene and interview with director D.W. Young, hosted by Danielle McNally (Ben McNally Books, Toronto Public Library)

The film will be available for 48 hours from when you start the stream. Please note streaming is only possible from inside Canada.
