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.

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!

Everyone that likes this video should go check out 'Bookstores: How to Read More in the Golden Age of Content' here on KZfaq 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.

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 KZfaq guided tour Dolcedo Art of the Thunderbolt Ground-floor & Mezzanine, which shows a small section of the author's vast = latest library.

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.

why on earth would you have people read the last page of a book and ruin a book for others, a little stupid!

@7890uiopjkl 2 жыл бұрын

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.

@StephanieCrawford333 2 жыл бұрын

@@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!
