This wonderful little film was made by Sean Ohlenkamp and his wife Lisa. They "spent many sleepless nights moving, stacking, and animating books at Type bookstore in Toronto".
I trained as a bookseller in Germany, and worked amongst books for 6 years. I miss it, and the video makes me happy. There is nothing like spending your days surrounded by floor-to-ceiling book shelves and knowing exactly were to find what your customers are in search of.
I have to admit that I do order a lot of my reading material online now, but whenever I go and visit a shop, I am always filled with slight excitement while browsing the shelves, looking at the displays, just possibly finding my new favourite read!
What a fun video! I love books, in fact, I am returning my Kindle; I just can't get into it. My TBR shelf is ridiculous, but I can't pass up a good deal. Plus, library books. I have an excuse now since I'm part of several reading challenges and have a book blog and people sending me things for review. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm a book store lurker. I find the books I lik the look off, make a note of them and then head to the library to get them for FREE. I know, I'm a cheapskate! lol.x
ReplyDeleteWhat a great video Annika.
ReplyDeleteThank you so very much for sharing it here!
Sending you wishes for a wonderful day!
This was a fun video and being a huge book lover, I have to agree that there certainly isn't anything like a book!!!! Especially one in hand :)
