Pickers
Clement buys used books at auctions, estate sales and book fairs, only to resell some to make ends meet. He is a picker.
Joseph owns a bookstore and deals with pickers regularly to replenish his shelves. He is a former picker.
“pickers” offers a glimpse into these charmingly awkward collectors' lives, as they wax poetic about the old days, literature, sex… and each other.
