But after six romantic weeks, neither is sure they want it to end.

The Pitch: Director/producer/editor
D.W. Young takes his camera into the world of antiquarian and rare book dealers in New York City, textually acknowledging that while the act of reading is becoming less popular, there is still a community out there that holds the torch for the ineffable magic contained between the front and back cover of a book.
Why It’s Essential Viewing: “Essential” is probably too strong of a descriptor for this movie, but if you love reading, this documentary will give you a sense of where the industry stands while also providing plenty of shots of gorgeous libraries and a bird’s eye view of the annual New York International Antiquarian Book Fair.
