Booksellers #notinktober

We watched the movie The Booksellers and it was so good….
I want to step back in time to a different place where things were slower and
instant gratification was not the high point of everyone’s life.

So many great quotes… I kept scribbling.

I loved the very long quote at the end, where it is the books speaking:

“Whose hands will hold me next I do not know…
the book, too, reads its readers in real time.”

“I think not….”
Me… why I journal!

I watched the trailer for this–what a wonderful movie! Isn’t that sad from 300+ bookstores to now, 79. We have only 2 local bookstores in town that I frequent. And Barnes & Noble. The indy stores are so wonderful. The bookstores in this move….I could get lost in them. And not want to be found.

  Thankfully there are some left, and the good news in the movie is that there is new young blood coming back into the antique book business… We buy from Abe Books online a lot!
