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.

Soundtracks
Feeling Lonely on a Sunday Afternoon
Written by Alfonso de Vilallonga
Performed by Ala.ni

Sadly Underrated

I do not understand how this beautiful film could have such . . . abysmal ratings. I believe it deserves more credit. Anyone with a love of literature or this style of film should definitely give it a watch and appreciate it!
