- This is my documentary film production called 'Booksellers & Storytellers'. It was made in various second-hand and specialty bookstores, all located in Toronto, Canada.
When I'm not reading books I usually watch you tube videos on people reading books.
You and I would get along very well
9:39 "Welcome to Willow Books, Free coffe with any book purchase" Sheeesh, that's what I call a damn good client magnet!
How wonderful to have found this documentary, it brings back so many memories of my younger days when I could spend all day going to the stacks looking at every book I could. Thank you Paul!
Yes Laura it's a wonderful experience indeed.
I'm 31 and just getting into book collecting.. Im addicted to Leather Bound Calssics, I only have a few rn but I'm gaining more and more, I've recently fallen back in-love with reading, I just got the Complete Sherlock Holmes Collection!! I could look through your place all day long, I would DEFINITELY be a browser lol
Ahh, bookstores! When I walk into one I lose half a day of time and a lifetime of stress and tension! ❤️🙌🏼🤓
Right!! Nothing like the smell of a bookstore
This is the best documentary on Bookstores here on CZcams right now.
I had no idea Gary Oldman owned a bookstore. Can’t wait to visit when I’m in town!
My library has exploded and is very eclectic I read fiction and non-fiction. I just finished Dan Brown' Inferno I am currently reading A Little Book on the Human Shadow by Robert Bly. DMT by David Luke and The Secret Teachers of The Western World by Gary Lachman.
i love this film it's great
i have a long time dream of opening my own used book store
Have you gotten any closer to realizing your dream in the passed 2 years?? I hope you have and if not, you can do it!!!
Wonderful documentation. As a book fan it's been a pleasure to watch.
Seeing that sight of book piles, i think my heart is going to explode ♥️
Great documentary , the 2nd hand bookstores in toronto really are special.
Hi Paul. Paul Craft Books in Sydney here. I have bought some great books from David Mason
This is probably the best thing I’ve seen on this site. Thank you.
Have been living for nearly 3 years in Toronto but I didn't know until this video came up I hope it's still open and I can visit when getting to Canada as well.
Wish i had those kinds of bookstores in my country Indonesia. Here they sell mostly popular paperbacks
yes, we need more (used) bookstores and libraries in Indonesia.
Aku mau nulis komentar seperti ini tadi ternyata sudah diwakilkan! Yes, we need more bookstores like this in our country and libraries too.
Everyone that likes this video should go check out 'Bookstores: How to Read More in the Golden Age of Content' here on CZcams as well. These two videos beautifully reiterate how many gifts lie within books; gifts for your mind, heart, and soul, with such conviction that you can't help but grab a book the second the videos end.
That Video kinda makes me sad somehow, but also I watched it multiple times lol
Yes! That video is my favorite CZcams video ever and the best also.
This is, to my mind, the best documentary available on bookstore.
The first interviewer looks like Gary Oldman, anyways this is my dream job!!! 💕💕💕💕💕
I enjoyed watching this.
ART
That was so nice.
So happy I discovered this video/documentry. Love every bit of looking at all these fantastic books. It gave me such a wonderful and cozy feeling.
Thankful for booksellers! Love reading books!
The clutter bothers me but I get it.
I dearly love the black cat in the chair!
+meow98 It was a sweet cat and was very expressive with its tail, often swishing it around like it does sometimes in the clips.
XD
This was very lovely .. thank you Paul 💛
Thank you for this. It's lovely.
Amazing, beautiful ♥️
I live here in Georgia and I 💘 books. I have 600 books.
Jahah everywhere you keep bragging about the amount of books you own.
Go read them.
Coffee, cigarettes, dust and brittle yellowed paper. What an aroma! If there were a men's fragrance that combined all of this, I would buy it...
You should write poetry
I absolutely loved this. I now have a yearning to find all the used book shops in my area and browse for hours, days even!
Shame it’s currently nearly 10pm. 😩
I love old book shops, but people wonder why they go out of business.
They do? Why?
great!
Thank you
WOAAHHHH talk about spoilers!!!!!!
Verynice documentary....it's nice the way you have people reading passages from their favorite book...,,, Good music as well......By the way which city is this filmed in? Thanks for sharing:)
Skimming lightly, wheeling still, the swallows fly low
I was in Toronto in 2018
The world's largest illustrated volume since Leonardo & maybe Henry Darger is stored in Dolcedo Italy in an art gallery there, waiting to be transported upstairs to a newly renovated reading-space - on the verge of completion - it took 50+ years to make & continues day & sometimes night & it deals with God Almighty's relation to maths, logic, philosophy, art, theology, literature, atheism ETC ETC. It is in conjunction with Visionary Xian Murals & paintings & drawings, some of which can be seen on a CZcams guided tour Dolcedo Art of the Thunderbolt Ground-floor & Mezzanine, which shows a small section of the author's vast = latest library.
Where can i find the music?
nice
Sorry. What country is this. What city? I see everyone with coats
Sounds a lot like Canada
I love books
He reminds me of "Walter" in Breaking Bad.
Omg you look like Gary Oldman mixed with a little bit of Bryan Cranston
Well hello there Walter White, so this is the place you hiding :P
Until you discover the Internet Archive and you don't even have to read it yourself, just let the machine read it aloud
bookstore berlin germany
Or they kick you out because you're the creepy guy that's always reading and looking at books who is the guy that the bookstore is named after, in reality. Which, of course, is not-so-subtley referenced in several movies and documentaries about bookstores.
BUMP
Need better chi.
XD
I love chai.
why on earth would you have people read the last page of a book and ruin a book for others, a little stupid!
It's not the last page of a book. I asked them to pick a favorite passage from a book to read aloud. If someone did happen to choose the last page of a book that was their choice to make. The only one I know of who did so was the girl who read from 'Charlottes web'. I left it in because of her personal connection to it, as was the focus of all the reads. Book passages and quotes are everywhere to be found. Like anything else its a persons choice to watch/listen to them or not. Just go to another video if you don't want to hear it. My focus was on the reader themselves and how parts of a book can effect them in a personal way. A way the viewer may not have felt or considered.
@@7890uiopjkl It was such a rude comment (and do they think the last page is often in the middle of the book?) It was a unique and thoughtful addition to a great documentary!
such a charming film! Loved the unhurried pace of it meandering through these wonderful book stores. Absolutely delightful
