THE BOOKSELLERS dives into the fascinating world of rare book dealers and collectors. Dreamers, intellectuals, eccentrics, these antiquarians play an essential role in preserving the history and future of the printed word. A loving celebration of book culture, the documentary offers a rare glimpse of many unique objects and the obsessive hunt for the next great find; from Da Vinci's The Codex Leicester (the most expensive book ever sold) to essential early hip-hop documents.

Featuring interviews with such luminaries as Fran Lebowitz, Susan Orlean, Gay Talese and going behind the covers with a range of rare book dealers, collectors and booksellers from such stores as The Strand, THE BOOKSELLERS is a special treat for anyone in love with the written word.

"If you love books, you'll adore this documentary."
- Los Angeles Times

"Lovely. A documentary for anyone who can still look at a book and see a dream, a magical teleportation device, an object that contains the world"
- Variety

"A treat for anyone who appreciates the printed word... Will be enjoyed by anyone who's ever happily spent hours wandering through bookstores"
- The Hollywood Reporter
