    I actually had tears in my eyes through the whole film. I love independent bookstores.

    Very good video. Indie bookshops are great places. I have always liked them. They will always flourish because they have a soul.

    What a wonderful documentary. I'm an author who is about to open an independent bookstore, and this video let me know that I'm on the right track. Thanks you.

    I wish I had a small town book store in Mountain City ,TN. If I had the money I would love to open one myself.

    my library does signing events with authors and use the independent book store round the corner on a back street to bring books to buy from the author's at the event which i think is great

    Very nice documentary. In this day and age of technology, it's nice to see good old-fashioned indie bookstores thriving. I personally like going to bookstores because at least you can talk to a person about books. This makes me wish there were more indie bookstores in my area (we don't have a lot of them in Florida, which sucks).

    Because books, are an intimate experience. A book that you browsed for in person, has more value than one you purchase on line. Because sharing an intimate experience like purchasing and enjoying books makes that person that you share it with your friend.

    This was a great documentary :) Could tell that you put a lot of hard work into gathering information and viewpoints from various people, and the result was greatly informative and interesting. More than that, I could see how passionate you are about books and independent bookstores. That passion is so important.

    Great video. I have a favorite little bookshop I love to visit in a nearby town and I worry about its safety because of the popularity of the e-book. I was given a Kindle as a gift but I have a HUGE physical book library and will always prefer physical books!

    This is truly such an inspirational Documentary! I got emotional by the end! There is not many independent book stores where I live :/ but It is so interesting to know that indie book stores are thriving and not dying off in our age of technology. One of the things I want to do (sometime in the future) is create a book store so this video really hit home for me :D

    I wish I could find out the title of the yellow book that the girl is looking at in the beginning of the documentary. She turns the page to Frankie Lymon. Has anyone an idea? (0:47)
