    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      The narrator is Julie Christie. A half century earlier, Ms Christie starred in the film Fahrenheit 451 (1966), adapted from the Ray Bradbury novel that was prominently featured in Bookshop.
    • Goofs
      Inside the bookshop, modern Penguin Clothbound Classics can be seen on the shelves. These editions were put out in the last 20 years, bound to look like older styles, but are, indeed, recent publications.
    • Quotes
      • Edmund Brundish: Old age is not the same thing as historical interest. Otherwise you and I would be far more interesting than we are.
