A filmed interview series visiting independent bookstores and talking with the people who run them.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-02 issue.

Field notes

The project uses bookstore visits as its production setting, recording conversations among the shelves rather than presenting only a remote interview format. The homepage identifies four featured shops—Asterism, Cordelia, Clio's, and Books & Books—and links viewers to YouTube for the series. Its host is also described as the owner of Cordelia in Brooklyn, with prior work as a travel writer and an MFA in Poetry from Sarah Lawrence.
