Dreamers, intellectuals, eccentrics, these antiquarians play an essential role in preserving the history and future of the printed word.

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.
