3 stars (Good Enough) For aficionados, a record of a lost world-thanks to the internet. Unlike the great US & UK docos on vinyl stores struggling on, this is humorless. Substandard cinematography. Simple explanations of why some books have value and others not would help. ~Anon
3 stars (Good Enough) All books can be collected traded and loved but the rare ones are those you don't put your coffee cup on (and don't have turned down pages). ~Tubbs
