The Booksellers (2020)

D.W. Young's documentary tours New York's rare and secondhand book trade, from the antiquarian book fair at the Park Avenue Armory, where first editions fetch hundreds of thousands of dollars, to the Strand and Argosy and collectors' apartments crammed floor to ceiling. Fran Lebowitz, Susan Orlean and Gay Talese turn up to talk about the physical book as an object worth loving. It is the best pick here for anyone curious about how the trade actually works, though it assumes a real interest in collecting.
