The Joy of Books — A Short, Inspired Film Full of Passion

In all the posts we write here, there’s the allure of the “big picture,” the notion that big swings, industries, titans, and trends will dominate. Yet, in between the movements of giants, there are the passions of more refined sensibilities. Here, bookshop owners in Toronto used their nights and weekends to make a lovely short film of their store and its denizens. I believe I envy them.

Thanks to David Crotty for the pointer.

Happy Friday!

  2. Ola! Kent,
    I take your point, Self-publishing can be a fun and rewarding endeavor, as well as a smart choice for photographers, designers and writers to express creativity. It’s allows for much more freedom, cost-effective, fast, and can be more lucrative than the standard royalty contracts. It also allows you to maintain control over the publishing process. However, there are some details you should know about printing, especially since you will be in control of every aspect of publishing your book.
    Nice One!
