(Review) 'Bookwars' Directed by Jason Rosette by Matt Zoller Seitz, New York Film Critics Circle
"In BookWars, a superb nonfiction film by first-time feature director Jason Rosette, books are more than sources of knowledge. They are merchandise that's appraised, bought and sold. They're also artifacts, sometimes clean and intact but more often damaged, whose condition at the point of sale says plenty about the conscientiousness of the seller. Most of all, they're an addictive substance."
