THE BOOKSELLERS TBC

FILM OUT 29 JUNE DIGITAL HD

D.W. Young’s doc is an elegant, engrossing look at the obsessive customers, wild searches and gorgeous finds of New York rare-book dealers, a dying breed who are equal parts detective, psychologist, and treasure hunter. From books bound in human skin, through handcrafted hip-hop mags, to Bill Gates’ $30m Leonardo Da Vinci Codex, Young’s wandering chapters investigate topics as diverse as shopfloor sexism, demonology, and the hated Kindle. A compulsive watch for anyone who cannot pass a bookstore without going in or keeps their MCU merch ‘mint in box’. Kate Stables
