The Booksellers Trailer #1 (2020) | Movieclips Indie 

The joy of having a book on hand to read is far more better then looking into a PDF format of it on computer, tab or mobile

A good book can change your life, a great one can save it.

I love holding books, flipping through them, smelling them, turning the pages, and being surrounded by thousands of them. There is no better place than a good bookstore. I miss them.

I believe the one thing that makes a city look really alive is the presence of bookstores. I’m from India and have never been abroad. But, I find the surrounding places of the one second hand bookstore in my city the most vibrant part of the city..just buzzing with life and showing it’s essence. What makes New York the greatest and liveliest city in the world, I presume, is the presence of prolific bookstores such as Strand that have created a place in history for themselves.

I decided to go to every bookstore in my city the first year I started university. I hadn't explored the city by myself up until that point so it felt like one of the first steps towards independence. I searched all the main streets and once they were all covered I moved on to the smaller bookshops that were tucked in various laneways. Fast-forward 5 years and a home library later and I now know Melbourne like the back of my hand. Because of the bookstores. By finding them, I didn't simply discover some of the best books ever written - I also discovered my city.

I live in NYC and the people who live and commute here always crowd the bookstores. With the pandemic I think people like me and many others are scared that many more will disappear. They are fun to walk into and just browse what is out there because online curation of books is mainly rubbish. Amazon only prioritizes the "bestsellers" but that comes with no real insight from someone or a few people that know that genre or why they are putting there on the front page. It also means that even good books could get pushed to the bottom of the page as they won't have enough name recognition or enough marketing. To find a decent book is word of mouth and someone who knows what they are talking about. ITs also just nice to walk into a store then be online all the time.

I have always been a fan of paper books. Something about the smell and feel of opening a book for the first time to uncover the hidden gems on the page. I love to dog ear the corners of the page of my favorite chapters or parts in the book, so I can return to those parts later and relive the journey of the book again. True, the E-readers are nice and convenient but something is different about holding a book. I liked when I was in college and would put colorful tabs on pages of references and highlighting things I wanted to remember later in my textbooks. I still enjoy walking into libraries or book stores to find something new to read.

Rebecca Romney, everyone misses you who watched Pawn Stars on TV :(

Oddly most other industries say the internet saved them. Instead of depending on the immediate area to buy their products, they can reach the entire world. People who would otherwise never even step into their cities have just as must access as those who live down the street of the shop.

i miss my love for books

There is nothing like the smell of old books. I inherited some from my father when he passed away, not worth anything but the smell takes me back to seeing him reading in his favourite chair in the sitting room. Great memories. Can’t get that from a kindle.

Young people are maybe finding that with a book, they are in complete control. No frustrating pop up ads, no battery issues.

There is nothing like getting lost in a book.

Anytime I travel I must find local bookstores. The Indie-er, the better. I went to NYC for the first time in 30 years this year, and my only requirement was the Strand. I could barely walk getting there (arthritis in both knees and there's nowhere to sit), but goshdarnit I was making it! I felt like crying when I made it, it was everything I imagined! I only walked out with two books but the joy of being there, and the coffee I drank, were beyond worth the wait!

I am so worried about small, independent booksellers. I love to browse and buy books. I rarely leave without books under my arm and a smile on my face. I love to read. I’ve gone downtown to buy at my favorite bookstores but they won’t let me in, want to do curb side. I buy without an itinerary, without an idea of what I will find. I don’t want anyone to do my shopping for me. Finding a way to support a store that won’t or can’t let me in is difficult. I hope the booksellers are able to hang in there. Buying online is boring.

Doctor Who: You want weapons? We're in a library. Books are the best weapon in the world. This room's the greatest arsenal we could have. Arm yourself!

Books are magic! Bookshops are my playground!

Something I love to do on a Saturday afternoon...visit a bookstore, read one in a near corner , drink coffee , buy two books , return again next time

Looks like a new season of Portlandia.

Was already a fan of Parker Posey but now i ADORE HER!! Books!! Yes!!

This looks like a very interesting doc!:

Someone is having a laugh with that thumbnail though

YES! So looking forward to this!

Great Documentary! Love it!

Books have been making a come back as a luxury commodity just like country living. It is now a priviledge to have a country house besides the town house. Similarly, having the time to read a book alongside jobs and household responsibilities has become a luxury accessible to privileged few.

Oooh, can't wait to give this film a look. Hopefully RU-vid movies has it

We are living in a rapidly changing regard for books. As a scientist 90% of my research is now on line. I have reached the point where my early manuscripts and reference are major collector items rather than popular journals. Several of my associates are now rare book dealers marketing medical and science papers and articles. Most are in the $300 range to several thousands of dollars range and much more. This is especially true if the manuscripts contain rare maps. These dealers are offering hundreds of thousand of dollars to major universities for their library collections of certain categories of text. Most of our major universities are now massing their research volumes on electronic file for efficiency of space and the deteriorating paper most of the 19th and twentieth century text are printed. It's just cheaper to go PC fileing rather than thousands of bulky deteriorating books filling hundreds and hundreds of shelves. University library books are being sold off and only a few contain original manuscripts. I have thousands of manuscripts now on my lap top or just a link away.

I wanna see this 🤓📚

Looks YES!

I love books, I struggle though because I live out of suitcases so it’s a rare treat I actually buy a physical book

Really enjoyed this. Came here so I could link to a bunch of like-minded friends.

Im here because is rebbeca in it !

Yes it is

i am currently reading a book on the Crimean war, written by The Times correspondent. it was published during the war It has a faded red cover and hand coloured maps. he writes of disease and incompetence hindering the british campaign. There is also a poignant account of the charge of the light brigade. Unfortunately I can't find it at the moment, i think it is currently buried under a pile of other books. I'm just not sure which pile.

Yay!!!

The Strand!!!! I got lost in there for hours one day back in the 90's. Is it still there??? Something tells me it's drifted away some foggy morning.

Pass it on

Rebecca from Pawn Stars in the screenshot

OMG Rebecca from pawn stars?!

Pawnstars chick 🤯🤯🤯

Rebecca Romney has amazingly beautiful eyes

I need to see this, when would it be released on DVD/stream/whatever?!

Is this coming out? When and where?

A book, an ebook, a note, a quote, a movie etc; all are mediums for imaginations. The more mediums there are the more perspective to be discussed

Actual book with papers and all are way better than reading in the phone.

Happy to see Pawn shop chick here. Also reading is good habit 👌

Oh! the smell of the pages.Reading pdfs is about getting the information, not the aesthetic: the beauty--that one we are loosing( my opinion now, as we slowly adjust to this new age: I don't know, I can't say).🤔😔

I never buy my textbooks for uni in e-text format. Studying with those sounds like hell.

Wow

Thank god they made it a movie, reading this would have been so boring.

im here to see rebeca😂

I heard so much things about Strand Books...

Thumbnail 👁👁

In the thumbnail Rebecca looks like she just saw ricks antique baroque and earrings...

A good doc, but should be called the NYC booksellers. Could have branched out a bit more. For instance, John K. King books in Detroit has been in business over 50 years, and has 1 million volumes. How many other awesome book sellers are there in other cities that we don't know about? Btw, I watched this on Kanopy. All you need is a library card to have free access to their videos.

I will always regret my disinterest to books, it's one of the things that I lack...:(

Amish love... That is quite a picture. :)

I think of Kindle Store

Good Calll on Showing Rebeca on the Thumb nail. Made me click.

Is this available online anywhere?

Where can I see this?

Is this on any streaming sites?

I'm intrigued, but what is this about? Is it a documentary? A feature film? Or is it just a video presentation of contemporary independent sellers of new books and old? Help me out here.

My dream job was to work in a children’s book store. Dang...

I'm here for Rebecca only!

Was they rebecca in the thumbnail?!?😍

Rebeeca is hot!

Woman on the preview: is she loic nottet’s sister? Looks like his female twin

Psalm 107:9 For He satisfies the longing soul, and the hungry soul He fills with good things.

We want more Rebecca from pawn stars

I see Rebecca, I click.

Is this on Netflix?

Too bad they couldn't interview Joe Goldberg

Can’t stand reading a book or newspaper on a tablet. I read the Financial Times its in a awesome pink newsprint, sadly its now only the weekend, the weekdays are now in an awful photocopied paper......eventually the FT will end up digital only....

Love Rebecca Romney... smart and beautiful.....

Going to a bookstore to buy books is like going hunting. Gives you the feeling of being a collector. The internet messed that up

🙂😇📺👍📼😎cool

I have an idea, create a non-fungible token of each book and put it in the blockchain

I cannot read anything that isn't fiction like YA syfy/Dystopian or fantasy because it will literally put me to sleep within minutes

Well FOR SURE the store where the owners got upset at customers because they would ask questions and they wanted to read ALL DAY , THAT’s the first store I’m headed for top of my list I would kill for a cantankerous curmudgeon owner like that !!!!!

the book was better.

Amish love lol.....that ought to be interesting lol

people still read books ? xD

Meh, I’ll stick to audiobooks.

lol, ebooks for life.

Gosh I fell asleep watching this trailer. How soporific is that show.

Usually there's something I identify with or understand in any clip about people's lives.. but I didn't understand a damn thing that entire clip... Whoever made this youtube clip missed some very interesting scenes... there's no way it could be that pointlessly dull.

Nobody cares about books. Nobody cares about a movie about booksellers.
