Enjoy a Q&A showing of D.W. Young’s lively tour of New York's book scene. ‘A treat for anyone that appreciates the printed word’ - The Hollywood Reporter.

D. W. Young’s elegant and absorbing documentary is a lively tour of New York’s book scene, populated by an assortment of obsessives, intellects, eccentrics and dreamers, past and present.

Amble from the Park Avenue Armory’s annual Antiquarian Book Fair – where original editions can fetch hundreds of thousands of dollars – to the Strand and Argosy bookstores, still standing against all odds; and nosily take in the beautifully crammed apartments of collectors and buyers too.

The film, executive produced by Parker Posey, features a range of commentators, including Fran Lebowitz, Susan Orlean, Gay Talese, and a community of dedicated book dealers and collectors who strongly believe in the wonder of the object and what it holds within.Register here and we will send you the instructions closer to the date.
