The Booksellers

Treasure hunters don’t look much of anything like action heroes – they are bespectacled, they are scholarly, they are eccentric. In “The Booksellers”, they are women too. Antiquarian booksellers are arguably modern-day treasure hunters. Part detective, part business, part academic, their work requires a skillset only a few possess. “The Booksellers” is a loving celebration of book culture and an inquisitive foray into the future of the book. It affords us a glimpse into the universe of an assortment of peculiar, under-appreciated characters that are essential in the preservation of our history – arguably more so than your run-of-the-mill Indiana Jones.
