It's fairly informative about the trade and I'm surprised the rating is so low.

Subject is interesting, but this documentary left a lot to be desired: it's mainly talking heads, expos, auctions, warehouses. We got glimpses of backrooms and collector's items, but there could have been more of those. It jumped from one interviewee to another and covered some themes as it went along, but it was quite random and certain segments felt unnecessary, as if they didn't really know what to focus on. It also remained unclear whether these collectors actually read any of their books.

There's this pain I'm inclined to feel for these lot post-COVID, but this film is just peering into their world, not doing anything of note about it.

I loved everything about these, I fucking love books and my new goal in life is to be that lady that looked like Edna Mode
