The Book Makers

55MIN

Artists, authors, and book lovers worldwide reveal why books resonate with us like nothing else. The film travels to New York, California, London, and Germany, from the intimate studio space of book artists to the vast digital library of the Internet Archive to explore what books are and can be in a digital age. The documentary features extraordinary handmade books and limited edition printings, and interviews with authors Dave Eggers (McSweeney's) and Daniel Handler, aka Lemony Snicket (A Series of Unfortunate Events), among many others who work to preserve the book's unique place in popular culture.
