The Joy of Books
After organizing our bookshelf almost a year ago (youtu.be my wife and I decided to take it to the next level. We spent many sleepless nights moving, stacking, and animating books at Type bookstore in Toronto (883 Queen Street West, (416) 366-8973). Everything you see here can be purchased…

Wow, this is fantastic! What a lot of work - love it.
What means this “NDAA 2012″ to intimidate us into submission?
WE THE PEOPLE veto “NDAA 2012(indefinite detention provisions)”
WE THE PEOPLE impeach all of the treasonous public servants who pervert the laws to protect them and their buddies!
WE THE PEOPLE end the “FEDERAL RESERVE(which is a private bank,means not run by the government)”
WE THE PEOPLE have the power to change this tyrannical government by the powers of the constitution which is “FOR THE PEOPLE BY THE PEOPLE”
ITS OUR DUTY!
HOLY moly. You guys are amazingly cool.
I particularly like the little moleskin journal reading another book.
this must have took forever
@ 1:44 i used to have one of those ghost keychains… but its broken now
I cannot tell you how delighted I am to watch this over and over! I bow to you – nobody in their right minds would even contemplate this – only the maddest bibliophiles! I must always have this playing in a loop when I decide to impulsively rearrange my bookshelves and end up exhausted with towering piles around me! I love reading books about book shops and their people – if only Toronto were not so terribly far from Melbourne Australia, I would be there like a shot to thank you in person.
What a delight! Imaginative yes, and – moving.
You bring joy; many thanks. ‘Beauty will save the world’
Brilliant, fantastic, amazing and wonderful. Thank you. I’d love to help with the LOC!
it’s really amazing!!!!
just another reason not to get married!
married sleepless night = stayed up all night moving books with my wife.

Whoa! This is incredible!
OMG I knew it!

Amazing work, congrats… can only imagine the work you had…
Very, very cool. Thx for sharing your creativity!
Oh, I’m absolutely moved by this video, the music made me feel an intense happiness I cannot describe… I thought “I’m dead and this is heaven!”.
Your bookstore is amazing, it reminds me of the one I go every week near my job.
I would like to visit it if I ever go to Canada. n.n

Talk about dedication!
Nice video guys
They have you. In the end they have written you,
By the intrusion
Of their account of the world, so when
You come to think, to tell, to do,
You’re caught between
Quotation marks, your heart’s beat an allusion.
Need you. The time comes when you pick one up,
You who scoff
At determinism, the selfish gene.
Why this one? Look, already the blurb
Is drawing in
Some further text. The second paragraph
Calls for an atlas or a gazetteer;
That poem, spare
As a dead leaf’s skeleton, coaxes
Your lexicon. Through you they speak
As through the sexes
A script is passed that lovers never hear.
What do they have to say and how do they say it?
In the library
At night, or the sun room with its one
Curled thriller by the window, something
Is going on,
You may suspect, that you don’t know of. Yet they
@itsatrapsandiego I think so!
Seriously, I can’t stop listening to this.
Fuck my life, I seriously didn’t need this right now.
@SOADafi It’s 2011. The 21st century has a long way to go yet. Don’t put down its hopes before it has them.
they really have a handle on how to put together what the inside a persons mind looks, sounds, feels like on an ordinary day

The Books are one of the last brilliant bands of the 21st century, they have a certain equality of being creepy, confusing and surreal but beautiful, melodic and blissful
