H eywood Hill bookshop has stood on the same street since 1936. It inhabits a Georgian townhouse at 10 Curzon Street in Mayfair, London, a blue plaque outside commemorating its most famous employee, Nancy Mitford. Behind its heavy wooden door, a customer explains that she is visiting the UK from Australia, and would like to speak to someone about the shop’s subscription service. The word has clearly travelled far. From chocolate to coffee to beer to grooming products, subscription boxes are big business, and books are no exception. There are countless online companies that ship out a monthly read, some adding artisan teas, hot chocolate, or an adaptation on DVD of the book. But Heywood Hill’s subscription is as bespoke as possible: each package is individually tailored to the reader’s tastes following a conversation between the subscriber and a bookseller. Camille Van de Velde, one of Heywood Hill’s five subscription booksellers, takes me down a rickety staircase into the basement from where the scheme is run. Staff are at work in a series of pokey interlocking rooms, stacking titles on shelves, ready to be wrapped, packed and shipped. They won’t be specific about numbers, but each has hundreds of people to choose for each month, and it has, by all accounts, transformed the business. Heywood Hill bookshop in Mayfair, London. Photograph: Nicholas Bailey/REX/Shutterstock Subscriptions range from £125 for six paperbacks to £1, 150 for 40 hardbacks, which means this is not the cheapest way to buy books. But it is a distinctly human transaction in a world that is increasingly automated: using your own knowledge to curate to someone else’s taste goes against the algorithmic approach. As I watch them pile up the shelves, book by book, a name on a paper insert in each one, I keep thinking of an exchange in Ali Smith’s Spring, when Richard asks his friend Paddy how she knows “everything about everything”. “I’m a dying species, ” she replies. “I’m that thing nobody out there thinks is relevant any more. Books. Knowledge. Years of reading. All of which means? I know stuff. ” The libraries these booksellers carry around in their brains are astonishing. You can practically see the flicker of their mental index cards whirring as they decide what might delight a particular customer. They all have their favourites, they admit, and sometimes end up corresponding with them for years. Mr B’s, an independent bookshop in Bath, has been offering its own bespoke subscription service since 2012. It grew out of an idea called a “reading spa”, an in-store chat about books, over tea and cake, that would conclude with a list of tailored recommendations. Nic Bottomley, who opened Mr B’s with his wife Juliette in 2006, explains that a subscription service was the logical next step. It meant they could reach customers who didn’t live in the city. “Our whole ethos is based around opinions and recommendations. The shop floor is a very lively and vocal place. ” Bespoke subscriptions are an extension of that interaction. While they tend to match subscribers to booksellers with similar areas of interest, he says, there is still a bit of an art to it. “Sometimes you take people on little side loops, to the edges of their reading tastes, when you get a hunch that they are going to like a certain book. It’s great when it pays off. ” It is paying off in more ways than one: they now send out thousands of books every month. Wrapping and packing at Heywood Hill. Photograph: Horst Friedrichs At Heywood Hill, the reading consultation can be either online, on the phone, or in person, which is why I am here today. I am a regular reader, but I feel stuck in a rut. I tend to go for whatever has been critically lauded, or an eye-catching classic from the charity shop. I rarely read nonfiction. I hardly ever read any genre fiction. I know what I like, but I feel as if I read what is around, lazily, and I don’t feel surprised any more. What can they do for me? Eleanor Franzen, the bookseller assigned to my case, sits down opposite me wielding a notebook. “You look like you’re bracing, ” she says, and she’s right. I have unwittingly pulled my shoulders up, and gritted my teeth, as if waiting for the dentist. I had been looking forward to this, but suddenly I realise just how intimate a simple question like “What is your favourite book? ” can be, particularly when asked by a stranger. “Don’t worry, ” she says, adding, with a doctorly flourish, “Everything you tell me, I’ve heard a worse version of it. ” Each question leads off into a chain of tangents, from birds to music to ghost stories to hobbies. Franzen takes notes. Do I read any crime? I don’t, but I tell her that I picked up a pile of Patricia Highsmith s in a charity shop last year, mostly because of their brilliant 1980s photographic covers, and loved them. She suggests Social Creature by Tara Isabella Burton, “which has a Ripley vibe. It’s also brilliant on being young, and poor, and on your own in the city, and knowing that if your gamble at a career doesn’t pay off, you’re in a world of trouble. ” We wander off into theology, which Franzen tells me Burton studied, which leads to science fiction, which I also rarely read. But I love plenty of science fiction TV series, and it is more a case of not knowing where to start than avoiding it. Franzen says there’s a lot of exciting stuff happening in science fiction now, particularly when it comes to authors of colour. “Which reminds me, ” I say. “Last year I kept a list of the books I read, in an attempt to hit a New Year’s resolution of a book a week. It became very apparent that most of the authors I read are white, and I’d like to change that. ” She mentions The Old Drift, the first novel by Namwali Serpell, which also meets the science fiction criterion. Later that day, Franzen emails a list of six books she would choose for me, if we were doing this for real. This isn’t quite how it usually works, she explains. They would normally pick over the course of the year and, depending on which subscription you choose, that might be hardbacks, or paperbacks, or a mix of both. For me, she has recommended a nonfiction book, Voices, by Nick Coleman, because I had mentioned that in a former life I was a music journalist. Social Creature and The Old Drift have made the list, but there are surprises, too: Kiran Millwood Hargrave’s new novel, The Mercies, I suspect because I mentioned how much I loved Ocean Vuong’s On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous, though wondering why a book is there is half the fun. The email feels like a gift. I tear through Social Creature in a day, then Gayl Jones’s Corregidora, the 1975 classic reissued by Virago last year. The Old Drift is next. The list has given me a new appetite for reading, and for sampling books I might not have otherwise encountered. It has turned reading into a pleasure again.

October 8, 2019 9:50PM PT New York's rare book dealers discuss what they did for love in a wistful doc made for those who can still look at a book and see a magical object. It’s never a surprise to learn that the Internet has upended a business, or an entire industry. But in the lovely and wistful documentary “ The Booksellers, ” we hear one telling illustration of how the online universe has revolutionized the world of vintage books, and it’s an object lesson so fraught with irony that it’s a little head-spinning. Imagine that it was, say, the early ’90s, and you were a rare-book maven with an impassioned, if not obsessive-compulsive, desire to accumulate a complete collection of the works of Edith Wharton, all in first editions. (Since Edith Wharton happens to be my favorite writer, this example nabbed my attention. ) How would you do it? You’d go to vintage bookstores, attend auctions, work with a dealer. You’d gather your first editions one by one, over time, and the slow and steady hunt would be part of the pleasure. But in the world of online book selling, where everything is catalogued and digitized, it’s all potentially a lot simpler. You can still play treasure hunt if you’d like, but all you really have to do is say, “I’d like to own a first-edition copy of every book Edith Wharton ever wrote, ” and the computer does the searching for you, all at once. To gather this collection, all you’d have to be ready to do is to put the total sum on your credit card. In a sense, that’s exhilarating. In rare books, as in so many other things, the Internet can reduce the search for the Holy Grail to an instant click-and-score. But with the hunt made borderline irrelevant, you’re no longer quite collecting; you’re just buying. The thrill may not be gone, but it’s reduced. And for the vintage book-store owner — the professional bibliophile, the man or woman who knows they’re buying and selling not just old books but sacred artifacts — the impact of Internet commerce has been a slow-motion debacle. The web turns them, more and more, into not-so-necessary middlemen. Of course, what the Internet is also doing is accelerating, rather radically, the erosion of our collective passion for book culture. It’s not as if it’s gone away! But when it comes to feeding the book business as a business, the number of people who spend time reading things between covers is in a rapid state of decline. Yet if the rare-book trade has reached a crucial moment of struggle, “The Booksellers” reveals that it’s hanging on in novel ways. The present-tense sheen of the 21st century has altered the meaning, and place, of books in our society in ways that can make them seem even more valuable. You might say that vintage books are now like vinyl albums — but in this case, they always were. So for the vintage-book believer, the value of a volume has actually gone up: as totem, as symbol, as artifact of beauty. Its slow fade from the culture only enhances its magic as an object. “The Booksellers” invites us to dote on the tactile mystery of old books — the elegance of the print, the pages that may be fragmenting, the colorful latticework bindings, the back-breaking size of certain old volumes, like the Gutenberg Bible (more or less the first book ever printed, dating back to the mid-1400s), or one giant book we see that contains intricate drawings of fish skeletons. D. W. Young, the director of “The Booksellers, ” is a veteran film editor who leads us into grand and cozy old bookstores like the mysterious museums they are. He roots the movie in New York City (with a few forays to London), since that’s where the heart of American literary culture still resides, and he introduces us to a cast of characters who are captivating in their what-I-did-for-love devotion. They all have it; if they didn’t, they wouldn’t be in the business. Many of the stores go back to the ’20s, when 4th Ave., known as book row in Manhattan, had close to 50 bookstores, most of them owned and operated, in the words of Fran Lebowitz, by “dusty Jewish men who would get irritated if you wanted to buy a book. ” That, says Lebowitz, is because they’d gone into the business mostly so they could sit around and read all day. The film takes us inside New York’s most fabled bookshop, the Argosy Book Store, founded in 1925 by Louis Cohen and now run by his daughters, Judith, Naomi, and Adina, who are in the rare position of being able to keep the dream alive because they own the six-story building that houses the store on E. 59th St. The dance of literary aesthetics and money is addictive. In the ’50s and ’60s, dust jackets were considered works of art, until they fell out of favor. Now they’re back in fashion, to the point that a first edition of “The Great Gatsby” without a dust jacket is currently worth about $5, 000, whereas with a torn and tattered jacket it would fetch $15, 000, and with a jacket in vintage condition it could go for $150, 000. At the Antiquarian Book Fair held each year at the Park Avenue Armory, we see an original edition of “Don Quixote, ” which is worth $20, 000, and learn that a first edition of the original James Bond novel, “Casino Royale, ” now goes for $150, 000. The comparison to the art market is there in a primal way, even if the book prices are lower (though we do see the auction at which Bill Gates, over the phone, purchased Leonardo’s Codex Hammer for $28 million), with the cost of a vintage book reflecting the ever-shifting values of the culture. “The Booksellers” finds room for tidbits of history, like a thumbnail sketch of the pioneering book maven A. S. Rosenbach, as well as a portrait of the seminal dealer-collectors Leona Rostenberg and Madeleine B. Stern, who had to fight to make their mark in a demimonde of tweedy men. (For years, they were scandalously denied membership in the Grolier Club. ) Rostenberg and Stern became legendary, uncovering Louisa May Alcott’s hidden pseudonym as an author of pulp novels, and opening the doors for the contemporary women dealers we meet, like Rebecca Romney, who became a regular on “Pawn Stars, ” spreading the gospel of rare-book love with a rare crossover charisma. She emerges as the movie’s cockeyed optimist of bibliophilia. There’s a happy contradiction at the heart of antiquarian book culture. The passion for books is about the love of reading — the rhythm of it, the meditative space of it, which increasingly stands as a 19th-century counterpulse to the amped heartbeat of the 21st century. But “The Booksellers” is also about the kind of people who relish vintage books as fetish objects. Those of us who love old books know that feeling. Yet it’s not just about owning; that gorgeous rare volume incarnates the concrete mysticism of the reading experience. “The Booksellers” is a documentary for anyone who can still look at a book and see a dream, a magic teleportation device, an object that contains the world.

Q&A with D. W. Young and producers Judith Mizrachy and Dan Wechsler on Oct. 13 What once seemed like an esoteric world now seems essential to our culture: the community of rare book dealers and collectors who, in their love of the delicacy and tactility of books, are helping to keep the printed word alive. D. Young’s elegant and entertaining documentary, executive produced by Parker Posey, is a lively tour of New York’s book world, past and present, 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 book stores, still standing against all odds; to the beautifully crammed apartments of collectors and buyers. The film features a litany of special guests, including Fran Lebowitz, Susan Orlean, Gay Talese, and a community of dedicated book dealers who strongly believe in the wonder of the object and the everlasting importance of what’s inside.

Young's documentary, executive produced by Parker Posey, delivers a behind-the-scenes look at the New York rare book world. Bibliophiles are likely to be increasingly depressed these days, thanks to the rise of ebooks and the continuing demise of bookstores. D. Young's documentary The Booksellers, receiving its world premiere at the New York Film Festival, should provide something of a balm to those beleaguered souls. Providing a behind-the-scenes look at the world of rare book dealers but also digressing into topics revolving around the printed word in general, the film will be enjoyed by anyone who's ever happily spent hours wandering through bookstores with no specific goal in mind. "The world is divided between people who collect things, and people who don't know what the hell these people are doing collecting things, " observes one of the doc's subjects. Needless to say, the film very much concentrates on the former, especially those who attend the annual Antiquarian Book Fair at New York City's Park Avenue Armory, a mecca for rare book collectors. Ironically, as if to underscore the archaic products being exhibited, the armory is a virtual antique itself, dating back to the late 19th century and featuring a giant clock that no longer works. Among the dealers who exhibit there are Dave Bergman, who specializes in giant-sized books and whose apartment is packed to the gills with his inventory. "Every time I buy another book, I have to rearrange the entire place, " he says sardonically. We learn that in the 1950s there were 358 bookstores in New York City and that now there are only 79 remaining (it's actually surprising there are still that many). Among the notable used and rare bookstores that have survived are The Strand, opened in 1929 and now the only one left of what used to be dozens of such establishments on 4th Avenue, once dubbed "Book Row. " There's also the Argosy Book Store on E. 59th Street, established in 1925 and currently run by the three daughters of the original owner. Tellingly, both of these are family businesses, and their longevity can be ascribed to the fact that the families own the buildings in which their stores are located. The doc fascinatingly delves into the history of book collecting, spotlighting such pioneering figures as legendary British dealer A. S. Rosenbach, whose nickname was "The Napoleon of Books, " and researchers Leona Rostenberg and Madeleine B. Stern, who uncovered Louisa May Alcott's pseudonym of A. M. Bernard, which the author of Little Women used when writing pulp romance fiction. Author Fran Lebowitz offers plenty of amusing commentary throughout the film. "You know what they used to call independent bookstores? Bookstores, " she jokes, adding, "They were all independent. " Novelist Susan Orlean weighs in as well, talking about having sold her archives to Columbia University and worrying that in the age of computers, researchers will no longer have the opportunity to explore writers' creative processes. Several of the interview subjects point out that while the internet is great for collectors, who can find anything they want with just a few keystrokes, it's been terrible for booksellers. The very word "Kindle" sends shudders up booksellers' spines, although not all of them are ready to write off the printed word just yet. "I think the death of the book is highly overrated, " one dealer comments. The doc includes amusing profiles of several of the more eccentric collectors, including one dealer who handles books bound in human skin and founder Jay Walker, who has a massive library in his home dedicated to the "human imagination" and inspired by M. C. Escher. The Booksellers tends to be a bit too digressive at times, lapsing into many tangents that are never uninteresting but tend to cause it to lose focus. Nonetheless, the film provides an evocative portrait of a way of life that is hopefully not completely vanishing anytime soon. Production company: Blackletter Films Director-editor: D.

Many familiar faces of the trade, stories, anecdotes and the love for the book, literature and possibly the appeal of a bygone era or an analogue offset to our digital world, will make this movie a treasure especially for anyone working in the rare book trade.

Young New York Daily News writes: Director D. Young did more than take a picture of antiquarian book dealers, he made an entire film about the subject. “The Booksellers, ” which debuts at the New York Film Festival on Monday, captures a field “in huge upheaval, ” Young said. “Certainly there’s a sense among the older booksellers that it’s the end of an era. ” While most individual antiquarian book dealers in America are based in New York, they are less visible as the city’s physical landscape has changed. “The bookstores are almost all gone now, except for a few like Argosy and Bauman and The Strand, ” Young explained. The book fair at the Park Avenue Armory, which is a framework for his film, remains perhaps the industry’s preeminent event. “I used to love walking around New York and going into these bookstores and browsing — they really were part of the city’s culture, ” said actress Parker Posey, who was asked to provide narration but signed on as executive producer because she loved the movie. “I watched it and then watched it again. It’s thoughtful and filled with real characters. ” Hollywood Reporter writes: We learn that in the 1950s there were 358 bookstores in New York City and that now there are only 79 remaining (it's actually surprising there are still that many).

His documentary MORE THAN THE RAINBOW premiered at DOC NYC in 2012 and later screened as the opening night film at the Coney Island Film Festival where it won the award for Best Documentary. It was released in 2013 by First Run Features. In 2015, Wechsler and George Koppelman wrote and published Shakespeare’s Beehive, an account of an extraordinary annotated dictionary.
